| Résumé : |
"There can be no peace without law". In his introduction, Grenville Clark quotes this pronouncement of President Eisenhower of October 31, 1956, as the fundamental premise of this book. On this premise, the book sets forth a comprehensive and detailed plan for the maintenance of world peace. In the author's words : "The purpose is to contribute material for the world-wide discussions which must precede the adoption of universal and complete disarmament and the establishment of truly effective insitutions for the prevention of war."
The authors' plan calls for total national disarmament by stages under strict inspection and the establishment of such legislative, executive and judicial insitutions as are necessary to maintain world order. These would include a strong world police force, a Nuclear Energy Authority, an Outer Space Agency, a World Development Authority for economic aid to the underdeveloped areas of the world, a United Nationals revenue system and a Bill of Rights. While cast in the form of detailed proposals for revision of the United Nations Charter, this plan could be carried out through a wholly new world organization.
In preparation for nine years, this book is widely recognized as the most thorough and comprehensive attempt to spell out in explicit detail all the world insitutions and basic rules which are required for the effective prevention of war. The plan provides strict limits on the proposed powers of the strengthened United Nations or new world security organization and presents the minimum requirements for peace rather than a utopian scheme for a perfect world community. Since the first edition, published in 1958, has been carefully studied throughout the world, this "Second Edition (Revised)" takes into account the views of many qualified persons in many nations. In 1960-61 there will be translations of the Second Edition into French, German, Russian, Spanish, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish; also of the Introduction, summarizing the main features of the book, into Arabic, Chinese, Italian and Japanese.
About the Authors
The authors of this book are eminently qualified to formulate a workable plan for world peace. Both are distinguished lawyers, well versed in international law and relations.
Grenville Clark was graduated from Harvard Law School in 1906 and served in the U.S. Army durign the First World War. He was the initiator of the Selective Service Act of 1940 and was consultant to Secretary of War Stimson in 1940-44. Since 1939 he has engaged in resaerch and study on the problem of world order and is the author of "A Plan for Peace" (1950).
