		This imperial peace has been decreed chiefly for the security of all those who are at feud; but not to the end that, after the peace is over, they may dare to rob and plunder throughout the villages and homes.

		In making these peace proposals to the government and peoples of all warring countries, the Provisional Government of Workers and Peasants of Russia appeals particularly to the class-conscious workers of the three most advanced nations of mankind, who are also the largest states participating in the present war - England, France and Germany.

	Justice and Peace Law and Decree 128
		Today most paramilitaries who have demobilized have benefited from Decree 128 of 2003 under which members of illegal armed groups who are not under investigation for human rights offences receive de facto amnesties.
		It is precisely because of the endemic problem of impunity in Colombia that most paramilitaries and guerrillas, many of whom are responsible for war crimes, crimes against humanity and other crimes under international law, have never been investigated, let alone been brought to justice for these offences.
		Decree 128 grants legal and economic benefits to members of armed groups who have demobilized.

	The Myth of Democratic Peace: Why Democracy Cannot Deliver Peace in the 21st Century by James Ostrowski
		Peace is the absence of violence or the palpable threat of violence against persons and their property.
		Second, some will argue that peace must also include the provision of certain basic conditions of life without which peace in the narrow sense is meaningless and without which breaches of the peace in the narrow sense are assured.
		The belief that democracy promotes peace, often termed the theory of democratic pacifism, is broadly held by academics, politicians, diplomats, and a wide swath of the general public.

	Geneva Symbolic Peace Treaty and Bible Numbers
		The 2003 Geneva Peace Treaty between Israel and the Palestinians is a proto type of the peace treaty to come, and a wake up call to all believers.
		Hence, this symbolic peace treaty (that concerns Jerusalem) fits well with the theme of the hand-code, since the bible declares that this future prophesied seven-year covenant will be broken, and then Antichrist will attack Jerusalem with all of his hordes (3½-years later?).
		Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most holy.

	Megarian Decree
		In Thucydides' view, the complaints about the Megarian Decree were mere pretexts for war, and were not the real cause, which he seeks in something that looks more like a philosophical statement about human nature than a historical explanation.
		When the [Athenian] Assembly convened to consider the matter, Pericles, who far excelled all his fellow citizens in skill of oratory, persuaded the Athenians not to rescind the action, saying that for them to accede to the demands of the Spartans, contrary to their own interests, would be the first step toward slavery.
		Sparta and Athens had been at war before and had concluded a peace treaty in which they had decided that future conflicts were to be solved by arbitration.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In terms of a philosophical analysis of War and Peace, if taken as logical opposites, it may well be supposed that a ‘short war’ could be fought to achieve peace; a ‘good peace’ will help to sustain peace, and that a ‘just, good peace’, will never create room for another war.
		It is only when war ends, and peace prevails, before men and women are able to commence any reconstruction and restoration efforts, which aim for the “rebirth of social progress and social justice” in order to advance the human condition.
		Peaceful internal associations and peaceful external relations are therefore inextricably linked with ethical concepts of justice, the same way internal (domestic) and regional (international) economic prosperity and political stability are also inextricably connected.

		Then, when the towns subject to you saw that you were angered one against the other and were showing each other your teeth like dogs, they hatched a thousand plots to pay you no more dues and gained over the chief citizens of Sparta at the price of gold.
		Though this was profitable to them, it was the ruin of the husbandmen, who were innocent of all blame; for, in revenge, your galleys went out to devour their figs.
		Peace, mighty queen, venerated goddess, thou, who presidest over choruses and at nuptials, deign to accept the sacrifices we offer thee.

		Vatican II Divinely sent to the nations of the world to be unto them "a universal sacrament of salvation," the Church, driven by the inner necessity of her own catholicity, and obeying the mandate of her Founder, strives ever to proclaim the Gospel to all men.
		The most important of these inventions are those media which, such as the press, movies, radio, television and the like, can, of their very nature, reach and influence, not only individuals, but the very masses and the whole of human society, and thus can rightly be called the media of social communication.

		And if, after these frank and honourable declarations, the Kaiser refuses to make peace, if the banks and exchanges which profit by the war destroy our peace, the nations will see on whose side is the right and we shall come out the stronger, the Kaiser and the financiers the weaker.

	Immanuel Kant: Perpetual Peace
		Otherwise a treaty would be only a truce, a suspension of hostilities but not peace, which means the end of all hostilities — so much so that even to attach the word "perpetual" to it is a dubious pleonasm.
		For this reason, the cost of peace finally becomes more oppressive than that of a short war, and consequently a standing army is itself a cause of offensive war waged in order to relieve the state of this burden.
		But by war and its favorable issue, in victory, right is not decided, and though by a treaty of peace this particular war is brought to an end, the state of war, of always finding a new pretext to hostilities, is not terminated.

	Preservation of the Peace - By Executive Decree - Library and Archives Canada
		Although the Department of Indian Affairs was established in 1880, administration of the department fell to ministers with other portfolios until 1966, when the office of minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development was created.
		On October 17, 1883, Governor General Lorne (1845-1914) approved an order-in-council in which Sir John A. Macdonald (1815-1891) shifted control of Indian Affairs from the Minister of the Interior to the President of the Privy Council.
		Thus, with a single order-in-council, the prime minister became President of the Privy Council, Superintendent-General of Indian Affairs and director of the North West Mounted Police, a consolidation of executive power that would have profound implications for the "preservation of the peace" during the North West Rebellion of 1885.
