Treaties of peace, made after war, are entrusted to individuals to negotiate and carry out.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Each one of these treaties is a step for the maintenance of peace, an additional guarantee against war. It is through such machinery that the disputes between nations will be settled and war prevented.
In short, it may be said that on paper the obligations to settle international disputes peacefully are now so comprehensive and far-reaching that it is almost impossible for a state to resort to war without violating one or more solemn treaty obligations.
Nations keep agreements, keep their treaties so long as they continue to do them good.
There are laws for peace as well as war.
In case of war, a treaty would have to be made at the end of the war.
Peace is not a relationship of nations. It is a condition of mind brought about by a serenity of soul. Peace is not merely the absence of war. It is also a state of mind. Lasting peace can come only to peaceful people.
A diplomatic peace is not yet the real peace. It is an essential step in the peace process leading towards a real peace.
A peace deal requires agreements, and you don't make agreements with your friends, you make agreements with your enemies.
Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.
You can only end a negotiation for peace if you begin it.
