Stockholm Peace Petition and Its Global Signatures
The World Peace Congress meeting in Stockholm capped a series of conferences from 1948 to 1950 aimed at promoting a peace petition. Chair Joliot Curie led a drive to sign the Stockholm appeal across nations, with large Western Europe and United States participation, while many signers were Communist or leftist. The petition’s fate and impact remain tied to Soviet propaganda and questions of neutrality in war.
