Peace as a world’s common good

Summary/Abstract: The author of the article presents peace in the world as the greatest common good. Nonetheless the peace has always been the most desirable good, human history is rather a history of wars than of a peaceful cooperation of the peoples. According to the author, presently peace in the world is imperiled with wrong ideologies, social injustice, lack of religious freedom, and radical proselytisms. If any war brings about deaths among many peoples: soldiers and civil population, a war in the modern world kills them many times more because of high destruction capacity, the technologically advanced weapons possess. This is why the peace is the highest and the most desirable common good of today’s world. Peace is not simply a lack of hostile action. Peace is not a state of things, which is given once forever; vice versa, it should be always conquered, and billed. Engagement for peace in the world is a duty of any human person, but in a particular way of the politicians because they rule the nations, and take decisions. For peace in the world are responsible also international organizations. The United Nations Organization is one of them.
