Hoover Institute at Stanford University, where Dr. Schultz acted long after resigning as secretary of state in 1989, he reported his death, but without giving the cause of death, the Washington Post reports.
In an interview with the New York Times” on April 27, 1993, Schultz had said the US should immediately launch air and sea attacks against Serbian military targets, even if European counterparts refuse to take part in the bombing.
Shultz in this interview had accused Clinton and United Nations leaders of failing to act on the case in Bosnia, saying they have completely failed to understand the need to combine diplomacy with force.
Asked about Clinton's policy in Bosnia, Schultz had said: “When you try to develop diplomacy without force and the other side uses force, as in the situation in Bosnia, you end up looking foolish”.
He had also said that Serbs “have deceived” The UN and its Secretary General, Boutros Boutros-Ghali.
