1] Abolishing war through a worldwide freeze on militaries and achieving global disarmament:”

In the 30s, Salvador de Madariaga y Rojo, who had been head of the League of Nations Disarmament section wrote

"The Great Powers do not fear each other because they are armed. Rather they are armed because they fear each other. To imagine disarmament by itself can bring peace is tantamount to believing that by going naked we can prevent winter."
