He is also the EU Special Representative for Bosnia and Herzegovina. A former officer in the Royal Marines and British diplomat, Lord Ashdown made his name in British politics where he led the Liberal-Democratic Party between 1988 and 1999. During the Bosnian War, Lord Ashdown was one of the most vociferous advocates for decisive international intervention. At the time, he argued that this would help bring the conflict to an early close and that this was in the interests of all Bosnian citizens irrespective of their ethnic origin.
