Collective Security
Nations should agree that an attack on any nation is an attack on all; collective security prevents war through guaranteed consequence.
Bahá'u'lláh proposed what he called the Lesser Peace: an international agreement in which all nations collectively commit to respond to any aggression against any member. This collective security arrangement removes the calculus of conquest by guaranteeing that aggression will be met by overwhelming collective force.
Should any government violate any of its covenants, all the other governments should arise to reduce it to utter submission.
The Bahá'í collective security proposal, made in the 19th century, mirrors the security architecture of the League of Nations and United Nations.
