Summary/Abstract: The paper is based on the hypothesis derivedfrom Fromm'sanalysis of war as an instrumentalized act of aggression, according to which every war is rationally planned with clearcut objectives usually pertaining, in contemporary warfare, to territorial and economic expansion of one or more countries at the expense of one other or more countries. In the context of this hypothesis and the UN- GA Resolution 3314 (1974) an attempt has been made to define the general framework of the 1991 Serbian aggression against the Republic of Croatia... Building this analysis upon the analysis of the Croatian exodus and masacres committed in the 1991 Serbian aggression against Croatia...,in the works of Šakić et al. (1993),and in the context of the initial hypothesis, the author concludes that the Serbian aggression against Croatia was a rationally planned and instrumentalized aggression of one country against another (in this case of Serbia against Croatia) with the purpose of territorial expansion, and use of means which are, according to international conventions, defined as ethnic cleansing and genocide.
