Vectors Of Action Toward Peace Part II

Topics: Freedom's Zone

In Part I, I described five vectors of action toward peace at the state level. The table below provides a summary, and introduces what I will now discuss, which is such vectors at the international level. (If the table does not show, the server is down temporarily.)

Promoting peace and social justice--freedom--naturally would involve different vectors of action from the state level. While states generally have too much power for internal peace and social justice, the United Nations has too little. Especially, if there is to be the maximum global social justice consistent with minimizing international violence (that is, positive peace), then the UN will have to be strengthened along five vectors of action, as listed in the above table.

One is to move the UN, as our global political system, more toward facilitating and guaranteeing a right to emigrate. This is a critical right and freedom; its universalization would help weaken the power of dictatorships and moderate their excesses. Moreover, it would further international mobility and a free choice, both enhancing the exchange nature of international society.
