Criminalize War and World Peace

War could be averted with a new global agenda to foster peace. There must be outlawing of war, putting a stop to research on destructive weapons and calling on the rich to stop suppressing the poor. The wealth of rich nations should be used to eradicate poverty in poorer countries and revive their economies.

Present day war is far worse than war in the Stone Ages as it is not aimed at warriors, but civilians, women, children and old people. War is destructive and weapons were invented with the motive to kill. Wealthy Nations should stop investing in weapons, especially the powerful nuclear weapons that will further impoverish the poor by destroying their property.

What is the purpose of spending billions of dollars on conducting research and development on destructive weapons that only lead to destruction of humanity? Even if they value their money so much and are reluctant to give or lend it to the poorer nations, they should at least use it to help the poor in their own countries.

The United Nations (UN) has to commit itself in this respect to control the arms trade. Weapons do not bring prosperity or development, but only block civilization and hamper progress. The UN must make efforts to foster peace. The rich nations did little in this sphere, but many of them suppressed the poorer nations "by squeezing out their last drop of blood". The double standard set by the rich nations with regard to the Palestinian issue is irritating and has infuriated Muslims. Their assistance to Israel's acts of terror is unforgivable.

The rich nations are now regarded as imperialists who wanted to impose a new form of colonialism on developing countries.They have developed warlike dispositions deriving from ideologies of neo imperialism. In this regard,The Charter of the United Nations, international peace, the sovereignty of nations and non-interference in the domestic affairs of States are being desecrated every day.

The United Nations plays an important role in acquiring greater relevance to sorting out the current mess in the world for present and for the future. They must push for Global Peace by criminalizing war, ban of destructive weapons research,development and production, and more multilateral approach to solving problems between nations. The suppression and oppression by rich nations towards poorer nations must end as well.
