A Plan for Peace begins with...  Universal Consultation  
  

     "The time must come... when the imperative necessity for the holding of a vast: an all-embracing assemblage of men will be universally realized. The rulers and kings of the earth must needs attend it, and, participating in its deliberations, must consider such ways and means as will lay the foundations of the world's Great Peace amongst men.... the Great Powers should resolve, for the sake of the tranquility of the peoples of the 
earth, to be fully reconciled among themselves. Should any king take up arms against another, all should unitedly arise and prevent him. If this be done, the nations of the world will no longer require any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving the security of their realms and of maintaining internal order within their territories. This will ensure the peace and composure of every people, government and nation. 


A Universal Consultation


      It is true that this question is of paramount importance, and will not be realized easily. However, we must take hold of every means until the desired result is obtained.


        They must make the Cause of Peace the object of .. general consultation, and seek by every means in their power to establish a Union of the nations of the world. They must conclude a binding treaty and establish a covenant, the provisions of which shall be sound, inviolable and definite. They must proclaim it to all the world and obtain for it the sanction of all the human race.
      This supreme and noble undertaking-- the real source of the peace and well-being of all the world-- should be regarded as sacred by all that dwell on earth. 
       All the forces of humanity must be mobilized to ensure the stability and permanence of this Most Great Covenant.         



An All- Embracing Pact                


            In this all-embracing Pact the limits and frontiers of each and every nation should be clearly fixed, the principles underlying the relations of governments towards one another definitely laid down, and all international agreements and obligations ascertained. In like manner, the size of the armaments of every government should be strictly limited, for if the preparations for war and the military forces of any nation should be allowed to increase, they will arouse the suspicion of others. 
            The fundamental principle underlying this solemn Pact should be so fixed that if any government later violate anyone of its provisions, all the governments on earth should arise to reduce it to utter submission; nay the human race as a whole should resolve (to do this)...

    ** "Let there be no mistake. The principle of the Oneness of Mankind-- the pivot round which all the teachings of Baha'u'llah revolve-- is no mere outburst of ignorant emotionalism or an expression of vague and pious hope. Its appeal is not to be merely identified with a reawakening of the spirit of brotherhood and good-will among men, nor does it aim solely at the fostering of harmonious co-operation among individual peoples and nations.... " 



    "The Tabernacle of Unity," Baha'u'llah proclaims in His message to all mankind, "has been raised; regard not one another as strangers. . . Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch." 
  
                    
      "Fifty years ago whosoever talked about Universal Peace was not only ridiculed but called a visionary and utopian. Now,,,
      ... this question of Universal Peace is the light and spirit of this age." -- Abd'ul Baha 
 
 
        "Human nature... is fashioned with the poison of war and strife. We need a powerful force beyond and above this world of nature; so that this condition may be effaced from the surface of the world."
           "Baha'i's must associate and become members of these peace societies... and... awaken them to the realization that this great cause of universal peace cannot be established and maintained except through the power of God, which is supernatural."  -- Baha'u'llah


Note:  The Baha'i writings give more details that open pathways for complex plans and patterns for a society of peace. The workings of its own communities, based on these plans, are  offered as " a model for study" * See  Disclaimer &  More  /   Footnotes

          This plan... " calls for no less than the reconstruction and demilitarization of the whole civilized world-- a world organically unified in all the essential aspects of its life, its political machinery, its spiritual aspiration, its trade and finance, its script and language, and yet infinite in the diversity of the national characteristics of its federated units." *5 
       "If the nations enter into a faithful agreement to leave off all war-like preparations at once, they shall secure for themselves and their posterity eternal welfare. They shall become freed from every difficulty and international confusion. This end must be obtained through the development of the intellects and the inculcation of peaceful ideals in all the institutions of modern civilization."
