Disarmament Or Limitation Of Armaments, Which Depends

Disarmament Or Limitation Of Armaments, Which Depends On The Progress Made On Security, Also Contributes To The Maintenance Of Peace.

Thus, If Armaments Were Curtailed Without A Secure Peace And All Countries Disarmed Proportionately, Military Security Would Have Been In No Way Affected.

When Distrust Exists Between Governments, When There Is A Danger Of War, They Will Not Be Willing To Disarm Even When Logic Indicates That Disarmament Would Not Affect Military Security At All.

Armaments Are Necessary - Or Are Maintained On The Pretext Of Necessity - Because Of A Real Or An Imagined Danger Of War.

I Am Convinced That When The History Of International Law Comes To Be Written Centuries Hence, It Will Be Divided Into Two Periods: The First Being From The Earliest Times To The End Of The Nineteenth Century, And The Second Beginning With The Hague Conference.
