Norveški komitet za Nobelovu nagradu za mir
Protesno pismo zbog dodjele Nobelove nagrade za mir Evropskoj uniji
Dodjela najvišeg priznanja za svijetski mir, Nobelove nagrade za mir, Evropskoj uniji {EU}, predstavlja direktnu uvredu za žrtve genocida u Srebrenici i Bosni i Hercegovini {BiH}, ali i za sve žrtve svih zloÄina u svijetu. EU ne samo da nije sprijeÄila već je mirno posmatrala najgore zloÄine poslije Drugog svijetskog rata, koji su se desili nad drevnim evropskim narodom, Bošnjacima u staroj multikulturnoj, multivjerskoj i multietniÄkoj državi BiH. Svojom pasivnošÄ‡u i dopuštanjem zloÄina agresije i genocida na meÄ‘unarodno priznatu, suverenu, državu BiH, legalizovanjem rezultata agresije i genocida, umjesto poruke mira i suživota, poruke kažnjavanja idejnih tvoraca i izvršilaca zloÄina agresije i genocida, EU je poslala poruku isplativosti agresije i genocida i legalizovanja rezulatata zloÄina. Podsjećamo da je upravo na dan objave Nobelove nagrade za mir otkrivena još jedna masovna grobnica sa 11 bošnjaÄkih žrtava u blizini grada Vlasenice.
ÄŒasna Nobelova nagrada za mir EU bila bi opravdana samo onda ukoliko bi EU ispunila svoj zavjet dat poslije Holokausta, nikad više i nikome više, nema genocida. Na žalost, agresija na BiH i genocid nad njenim graÄ‘anima jasno govore da je EU pokazila svoj zavjet. U ime žrtava agresije na BiH i genocida nad njenim graÄ‘anima, IGK, izražava nezadovoljstvo i protestuje protiv odluke o dodjeljivanju Nobelove nagrade za mir, EU. Odluka norveškog Komiteta za Nobelovu nagradu je ne samo teška uvreda za žrtve agresije i genocida u BiH, već i uvreda za mnogobrojne istinske borce za mir u svijetu koji svoje živote posvećuju borbi za svijetski mir, pravdu i zaštitu ljudskih prava i sloboda.
IGK predlaže EU da donira novÄani iznos Nobelove nagrade potomcima žrtava genocida u Srebrenici. Žrtve toga genocida su direktna posljedica mirovnih napora EU. „Mirovnjaci“ iz EU koji su djelovali pod okriljem Ujedinjenih nacija {UN}, (takoÄ‘er u prošlosti dobitnici Nobelove nagrade za mir) stajali su po strani i dopustili masakar više od 8000 muškaraca i djeÄaka. To se dogodilo u julu 1995, samo dva mjeseca nakon što je EU proslavila 50 godina "mira" od kraja Drugog svjetskog rata.
IGK oÄekuje odgovor od EU u skladu sa zahtijevima iz protesnog pisma.
Uz solidarnost sa žrtvama genocida u BiH i svijetu.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee
Protest letter regarding current decision by the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Nobel Award for peace to the European Union
The current decision by the Norwegian Nobel Committee to award the Nobel Award for peace to the European Union {EU} is a direct insult to the victims of the Srebrenica genocide, to victims of sexual violence, to concentration camp detainees and all other civilian victims of war. These victims have suffered some of the worst atrocities since World War II as the EU stood by. Awarding the EU the most distinguished award for the apparent promotion of peace, while ignoring their passiveness to stop the aggression and genocide in the middle of Europe sends a message that the events that occurred in Bosnia and Herzegovina {B&H} are irrelevant.
As the Committee announced the award, news of a new mass grave with eleven Bosniaks were uncovered near the town of Vlasenica. The ongoing discovery of mass graves, 17 years after the aggression and genocide could have been prevented if the EU cared enough to intervene; maybe then a Nobel peace prize would be justified. The Institute for Research of Genocide, Canada {IGC} is deeply disappointed with the Norwegian Nobel Committees decision and sees no legitimate reasons to present the EU with such a distinct award. In a world where so many individuals have dedicated their lives to promoting peace and protecting human rights, it is a shame that the Norwegian Nobel Committee has been able to easily look past that.
IGC suggests the EU donates the Nobel Prize amount to the families of the victims of Srebrenica genocide. These people suffered directly as a consequence of the peace efforts of the EU. The peacekeepers, from the EU, operating under the auspices of the UN (also a past Peace Prize winner) who stood by and let more than 8,000 mostly men and boys be taken away and massacred. This occurred in July 1995, just two months after 'Europe' and the EU was patting itself on the back and celebrating 50 years of 'peace' since the end of the Second World War.
IGC looks forward to hearing from EU in regard to protest letter and the suggestions therein.
In solidarity with the victims of the Bosnian genocide and genocide in the world.
