Peace is generally defined as a state of quiet or tranquillity, as an absence of disturbance or agitation (Latin derivation Pax = Absentia Belli).
In this sense, peace between and within national states is a goal of many persons and organisations, notably the United Nations.
Peace can be voluntary, where potential agitators choose to abstain from disturbance, or it can be enforced, by suppressing those who might otherwise cause such disturbance.

 Peace   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
From this perspective, peace is a positive state in society where there is not only the absence of violence, but also the presence of justice.
Proponents of the concept of positive peace argue that in a society where there is the structual and cultural oppression of one group by another, though there may be no violence, such a situation cannot be considered peace.
They point out that peace does not necessarily have to be something the humans will "some day" achieve, but instead that exists and can be created all of the time in small ways, and that it is something that is constantly changing.
