Nobel Prize winners
against the aggression on Croatia

Many people throughout the world contributed to the international recognition of Croatia (January 15, 1992). We would like to present a list of 104 Nobel prize winners (in alphabetic order) who signed an appeal to stop the aggression of the Yugoslav Army on Croatia that started in 1991 (The New York Times, January 14th, 1992). We do this with the feeling of deepest gratitude.

An Appeal by 109 Nobel Laureates

FOR PEACE IN CROATIA

During the past several weeks the Yugoslav Army has escalated its war against Croatia. Dozens of villages have been razed. Many historical monuments have been destroyed. Several cities, including Croatia's capital of Zagreb, have been bombed. Over 2,000* people have been killed.

The undeclared war has already produced more than 100,000* refugees. The violence and destruction unleashed in Croatia is on a scale unknown in Europe since the Second World War. Innocent civilians are massacred. Hospitals and places of worship are destroyed. Conscience demands that we raise our voices against this senseless war.

  • We appeal to the Western and Eastern governments to stop the Yugoslav Army wanton destruction.
  • We appeal to all humanitarian organizations to provide aid for all the victims of the Yugoslav military brutality.
  • We appeal to men and women of conscience to speak up against indifference to the plight of Croatian people who are facing not only the danger of total destruction of their country, but also the threat of their own extinction.

* Since signing the appeal, the number of Croatians killed has increased to over 3,000. Croatian refugees now number over 700,000.
