Wars of the 1990s.

The 40 wars of the past decade, all 'minor', have resulted in a total of more than two million deaths and 20 million refugees or displaced persons. Few have been the international wars typical of previous periods. Nine out of ten began as internal or civil wars, foreign intervention--when it occurred--being always secondary. The weapons used, the effects on the civilian populations, the type and extension of damages are different but equally destructive. The main causes of these conflicts are cultural or religious, rather than economic. The best attitudes to attempt to prevent or stop them are surveyed.

[Physicians and the danger of nuclear war].

International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize winners, are active in some sixty different countries. Their action is based on the outlook that any nuclear war would cause not only millions of deaths, but also millions of severely injured or burnt victims for whom the medical profession, decimated as well, would be most helpless. They strive to obtain that governments, in agreement with treaties that almost all countries have signed, ascertain that nuclear weapons, which are internationally illegal, be globally abolished. The impact on political authorities would undoubtedly be reinforced if the number of physicians supporting the action of IPPNW was increased.
