10 Principles of Peace are nice.


  1. Mutual respect of all nations for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of other nations;
  2. Mutual non-aggression of all nations towards other nations;
  3. Mutual non-interference by all nations in the internal affairs of other affairs (such as through wars of choice, regime change operations, or unilateral sanctions);
  4. Equality and mutual benefits in the interactions among nations; and
  5. Peaceful co-existence of all nations.
  6. The closure of overseas military bases, of which the US and U.K. have by far the largest number.
  7. The end of covert regime-change operations and unilateral coercive economic measures, which are grave violations of the principle of non-interference in the internal affairs of other nations. (Political scientist Lindsey O’Rourke has carefully documented 64 US covert regime-change operations during 1947-1969, and the pervasive destabilization caused by such operations.
  8. Adherence by all nuclear powers (US, Russia, China, U.K., France, India, Pakistan, Israel, and North Korea) to Article VI of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty: “All Parties must pursue negotiations in good faith on effective measures relating to the cessation of the nuclear arms race and to nuclear disarmament, and on a treaty on general and complete disarmament under strict and effective international control.”
  9. The commitment by all countries “not to strengthen their security at the expense of the security of other countries,” (as per the OSCE Charter). States will not enter into military alliances that threaten their neighbors, and commit to resolve disputes through peaceful negotiations and security arrangements backed by the United Nations Security Council.
  10. The commitment by all nations to cooperate in protecting the global commons and providing global public goods, including fulfillment of the Paris climate agreement, the Sustainable Development Goals, and reform of UN institutions.

None of which will ever happen so long as systems like crapitalism and imperialism are still around.
