Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 10: THE WAY TO PEACE
23/32

No arbitration treaty was made between two great Powers in which all matters of dispute were included.

Differences affecting "vital interests," "honor" and "independence" were specifically excepted.

Not only so, but effective guarantees that nations would abide by the terms of the treaties into which they had entered were lacking.

In the Baha'i proposals, on the other hand, questions of boundaries, of national honor and of vital interest are expressly included, and agreements will have the supreme guarantee of the World League of Nations behind them.

Only when these proposals are completely carried out will international arbitration attain the full scope of its beneficent possibilities and the curse of war be finally banished from the world.
Limitation of Armaments 'Abdu'l-Baha says:-- By a general agreement all the governments of the world must disarm simultaneously.
