Vectors of Action Toward Peace Part II

   In [1]Part I, I described five vectors of action toward peace at the
   state level. The table below provides a summary, and introduces what I
   will now discuss, which is such vectors at the international level.
   (If the table does not show, the server is down temporarily.)

   Promoting peace and social justiceâfreedomânaturally would involve
   different vectors of action from the state level. While states
   generally have too much power for internal peace and social justice,
   the United Nations has too little. Especially, if there is to be the
   maximum global social justice consistent with minimizing international
   violence (that is, [2]positive peace), then the UN will have to be
   strengthened along five vectors of action, as listed in the above
   table.

   One is to move the UN, as our global political system, more toward
   facilitating and guaranteeing a right to emigrate. This is a critical
   right and freedom; its universalization would help weaken the power of
   dictatorships and moderate their excesses. Moreover, it would further
   international mobility and a free choice, both enhancing the exchange
   nature of international society.
