Längsschnitt: Frieden
From Kant to Küng – Peace Theories and Peace Today
In 1919, the League of Nations is founded in Geneva in response to the First World War. It is the first supranational organisation designed to secure enduring world peace by settling international conflicts through arbitration. But it fails, partly because important nations such as the USA and the Soviet Union refuse to join it. While the Second World War is still raging, the decision is made to set up a successor organisation, the UNO (United Nations). It undertakes the League of Nations’ functions since 1945, but with greater powers to enforce conflict prevention, the protection of human rights and international cooperation. The Security Council bears the greatest responsibility for preserving peace and decides upon military action. | In this film version, German interviews and historical or literary quotes remain untranslated.
