Elements for a
world commonwealth
As forecast by Bahá'u'lláh more
than 100 years ago, the new world order must be based on
the following elements if a lasting world peace is to be
established:
- Recognized and secure borders
for all nations
- Freedom of travel and thought
for all peoples
- A general disarmament
- The establishment of a world
federation of nations
- The establishment of a world
tribunal for the adjudication of international
disputes
- The creation of an
international military force capable of enforcing
the peace through the principles of collective
security
- A commitment to the protection
of cultural diversity
The worldwide
Bahá'í community has long supported the United Nations,
an institution which many Bahá'ís see as a precursor to
the New World Order called for by Bahá'u'lláh.
