Is it possible to abolish war? This is the thought-provoking question at the heart of Winston Langley’s new book. While many might disagree, Langley firmly believes the answer is yes! He argues that international security and peace are not just utopian ideals, but attainable goals, alongside essential issues like environmental protection and human rights enforcement. To make this vision a reality, he proposes a radically restructured United Nations for effective global governance. What do you think—can we really achieve a world without war?
