Candidacy for Juan Carrero to the Nobel Peace Prize 2000

The support committee for Juan Carrero Saralegui for the Nobel Peace Prize 2000, lead by Bernat Vicens i Vich, has presented the final document supporting the candidacy to the Nobel Committee in Oslo.

On October 1, 1990 the FPR (Frente Patriótico Ruandés), with an important support from Uganda, USA and Great Britain, initiated the reconquest of Rwanda. Later the monoethnic Tutsis armies of both countries, together with Uganda, invaded the former Zaire (now RD of Congo). The conflict of Africa of the Great Lakes, that also affects Burundi, has become a human tragedy of great magnitude, that Juan Carrero, committed to nonviolence for twenty five years, had been denouncing persistently.

In the mentioned final document, presented to the Nobel Committee in Oslo proposing the candidacy of Juan Carrero, a review is made of the conflict of Africa of the Great Lakes and it is mentioned that the Nobel Peace Prize would be extremely useful for the project that the candidate and his foundation promote, together with other similar organisations, with the objective of of initiating a legal process against the genocide governments of African countries involved and against all those who are coresponsible of their crimes.
