Disarmament
Nations should reduce armaments to the minimum necessary for domestic order; the vast resources spent on weapons should serve human welfare.
The Bahá'í writings condemn the arms race as both economically destructive and morally indefensible. Once collective security is established, nations can safely reduce armaments to the minimum needed for domestic order. The enormous resources released can be redirected toward education, health, and development.
The rulers and kings of the earth must in one accord joyfully lay the foundations of the world's Great Peace.
Bahá'í disarmament teaching connects military expenditure to structural injustice, anticipating modern peace economics frameworks.
