Balkanization is Back: Did I Miss Anything?

Annan's six-point peace plan

Homs, Syria

1. Syrian-led political process to address the aspirations and concerns of the Syrian people 
2. UN-supervised cessation of armed violence in all its forms by all parties to protect civilians 
3. All parties to ensure provision of humanitarian assistance to all areas affected by the fighting, and implement a daily two-hour humanitarian pause 
4. Authorities to intensify the pace and scale of release of arbitrarily detained persons 
5. Authorities to ensure freedom of movement throughout the country for journalists 
6. Authorities to respect freedom of association and the right to demonstrate peacefully (21 April 2012, "UN votes to boost Syria mission," BBC)

Agreed  (however unlikely this is to be in practice: 17 April 2012, "Syria troops bombard Homs and other rebel areas," BBC). And this should be applied to: Syria, Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, Texas.  Where else?
