Summary/Abstract: At the present time the world is faced with the problem of global peril (danger) and global security. It is endangered by possible self destruction through war, ecological catastrophe, and in other ways. This means that there are still antagonistic forces that generate wars and other ways of endangering the world. The basic danger comes from the gap between rich and poor, i.e. developed and undeveloped states and nations. Humanity must become aware of its basic interest (freedom and safety for every man, all nations and states, and the whole human community) and to adapt its behaviour accordingly. Reason and basic (general) interests must become the main milestone of human individual and collective behaviour and action. The forces acting for Great Serbia and led by Serbia, Montenegro and the Yugoslav National Army are waging an agressive war of conquest against Croatia. This is a proof that »manufacturers of war« still exist although such a war is considered as a crime against freedom, peace, and humanity, and has in addition proved to be an inadequate means to achieve political and other interests and aims. Through its defense Croatia has affirmed that it values freedom above everything and has provided the world community with an opportunity to act as a general ambiance of peace, freedom and democracy. It is to the world community that the next move belongs.
