STATEMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA 
 
AT ITS SESSION ON MAY 4, 1992, THE GOVERNMENT OF THE 
REPUBLIC OF CROATIA REVIEWED THE STATE OF SECURITY IN 
THE REPUBLIC IN THE WAKE OF INTENSIFIED AGGRESSIVE 
MOVES BY THE FORMER YUGOSLAV PEOPLE'S ARMY (JNA), 
SERBIA AND MONTENEGRO AGAINST CROATIA.  THE 
GOVERNMENT ALSO CONSIDERED THE AFTERMATH OF THE 
ATTACK ON THE REPUBLIC OF BOSNIA & HERCEGOVINA AND 
ARRIVED AT THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: 
 
¶1.  THE FORMER JNA AND THE REPUBLICS OF SERBIA AND 
MONTENEGRO, IN THEIR REFUSAL TO ABIDE BY SOME BASIC 
STANDARDS PREVAILING IN THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY 
TODAY AND RELATED TO THE PROHIBITION OF WAR 
OPERATIONS, THE PROVISIONS OF THE GENEVA AND SARAJEVO 
AGREEMENTS ON THE CEASEFIRE IN CROATIA, THE 
RESPECTIVE UN PEACE PLAN AND OTHER DOCUMENTS ISSUED 
BY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, HAVE RENEWED THEIR 
ATTACKS AT CROATIA WITH INCREASED INTENSITY AND 
APPLICATION OF HIGHLY DESTRUCTIVE WEAPONS FORBIDDEN 
BY INTERNATIONAL CONVENTIONS.  WANTON DEVASTATION OF 
OSIJEK, VINKOVICI, ZADAR, METKOVIC AND OTHER TOWNS 
AND PLACES GO ON UNABATED.  THE ATTACK ON SLAVONSKI 
BROD IS AN EXAMPLE OF A BRUTAL CRIME COMMITTED 
AGAINST INNOCENT CIVILIANS, DEFENCELESS WOMEN AND 
CHILDREN.  THE AGGRESSORS CONTINUE TO BURN DOWN 
DWELLING AND COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS, TO EXPEL CROATS 
AND OTHER NON-SERBIANS FROM OCCUPIED AREAS AND TO 
LAUNCH INSIDIOUS ATTACKS AT CIVILIAN TARGETS AND THE 
CROATIAN ARMY DEFENCE POSITIONS.  SUCH ATTACKS, AS

WELL AS THOSE AGAINST EEC MONITORS AND THE ACTIONS 
THWARTING THE UNPROFOR PEACE OPERATIONS ARE DESIGNED 
TO ESCALATE THE CURRENT WAR CONFLICT AND TO UNDERMINE 
THE INTERNATIONAL PEACE EFFORTS, WHICH SHOULD ENABLE 
SERBIA, MONTENEGRO AND EX-JNA TO REALIZE BY FORCE

THEIR CONQUERING PLANS AS SET OUT IN THE GREATER 
SERBIA PROJECT. 
 
¶2.  IT IS IN THIS CONTEXT THAT THE SPREAD OF 
AGGRESSION TO THE INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED REPUBLIC 
OF BOSNIA & HERCEGOVINA SHOULD BE CONSIDERED:  THE 
OBVIOUS OBJECTIVE IS TO SUBJUGATE THIS REPUBLIC 
MILITARILY, TO CHANGE THE ETHNIC STRUCTURE OF SOME OF 
ITS AREAS AND TO FORCE IT INTO JOINING THE SO-CALLED 
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA.

BOSNIA & HERCEGOVINA ARE TAKING PLACE IN THE HEART OF 
EUROPE, BEFORE THE VERY EYES OF THE WORLD.  BY 
PLAYING SOFT WITH THE AGGRESSORS AND FAILING TO TAKE 
SPECIFIC ACTIONS AGAINST THEM THE DEMOCRATIC STATES 
AND THE INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ARE MAKING 
THEMSELVES MORE AND MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE 
CONTINUING TOLL IN HUMAN LIVES.  CONTINUOUS 
POSTPONEMENT OF EFFICIENT SANCTIONS AGAINST THE 
AGGRESSORS ENABLES THEM TO EXPAND THEIR CRIMINAL 
ACTIVITIES, DAY IN, DAY OUT, WHICH MAKES THE 
INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND THE DEMOCRATIC STATES 
AS PARTIES TO INTERNATIONAL COVENANTS NOT ONLY 
MORALLY, BUT ALSO ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE, FOR FAILING 
TO DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO DO IN ORDER TO HELP 
INNOCENT PEOPLE. 
 
¶4.  THE RIGHT TO LIVE, THE RIGHT TO DEFEND ONE'S LIFE 
AND THE DUTY TO HELP ENDANGERED HUMAN BEINGS ARE 
MOTIVES BEHIND THE PRESENT MESSAGE OF THE CROATIAN 
GOVERNMENT EXPRESSING THE BITTERNESS OF HELPLESS 
WOMEN AND CHILDREN AS WELL AS OTHER INNOCENT VICTIMS 
OF THE AGGRESSIVE WAR WAGED AGAINST CROATIA AND 
BOSNIA & HERCEGOVINA.  ON THEIR BEHALF AND BASED ON 
THE UN PRINCIPLES PROHIBITING THE USE OF FORCE AND 
THE COMMITMENT OF MEMBER STATES TO TAKE ACTIONS 
AGAINST THE AGGRESSOR AND TO HELP THE VICTIM OF 
AGGRESSION, AS WELL AS OTHER UN CHARTER PROVISIONS 
AND ALL THE ADOPTED INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS

CROATIA HEREBY REQUESTS:

C).  AN ULTIMATUM SHOULD BE GIVEN BY EEC AND CSCE TO 
SERBIA, MONTENEGRO AND THEIR CRIMINAL ARMY TO THE 
EFFECT THAT PROPER AND EFFICIENT ACTIONS BE TAKEN 
AGAINST THEM, UNLESS THEY IMMEDIATELY STOP KILLING 
WOMEN AND CHILDREN AND DESTROYING TOWNS AND VILLAGES.

F)  PREVENTING THE SO-CALLED FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF 
YUGOSLAVIA, A DISGUISE OF GREATER SERBIA, FROM 
USURPING IT IN ANY WAY THE RIGHTS OF EX-SFRJ 
(SOCIALIST FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF YUGOSLAVIA) IN 
INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS AND RELATIONS. 
 
G)  CONVENING AN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON REFUGEES 
AND EXILES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AND PROVIDING HELP IN 
TAKING CARE OF THEM AND THUS ENABLING THEM TO RETURN 
TO THEIR HOMES. 
 
H)  SETTING UP AN INTERNATIONAL COURT TO DEAL WITH 
WAR CRIMES AND TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIONS AGAINST ALL 
THOSE TORTURING AND KILLING WOMEN, CHILDREN AND OTHER 
INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS IN THIS BLOODY WAR. 
 
¶5.  THE GOVERNMENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF CROATIA APPEALS 
TO ALL DEMOCRATICALLY MINDED CITIZENS OF THE WORLD TO 
BRING PRESSURE TO BEAR ON INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS 
AND THEIR RESPECTIVE STATES WITH AN AIM TO PROTECT 
THE VICTIMS OF AGGRESSION IN COMPLIANCE WITH 
INTERNATIONALLY ADOPTED AND ESTABLISHED STANDARDS. 
ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO HAS FAILED TO DO WHAT HE CAN AND 
MUST DO IN ORDER TO STOP THE MASSACRE OF INNOCENT 
PEOPLE BEARS A PART OF MORAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR AND 
COMPLICITY IN THE CRIME BEING COMMITTED, INDIFFERENCE 
TO EVIL-DOING AND MILD RESPONSE CAN ONLY LEAD TO NEW 
CRIME AND IS LIKELY TO ENCOURAGE CRIME.
