War No More - film and booklet

This short film, "War No More", has only one aim: to convince people that wars are not inevitable and that conflicts - national and international - can be solved in other ways. Indeed, in this nuclear age they must be so solved if the human race is to survive.

There is no one road to a war-free world. We need, for instance, international courts that work and an effective, internationally-co-ordinated police force. We need an end to the political and economic injustices which drive some to believe that violence is the only answer to their problems. We need scientists and engineers who give work for peace their priority, and businessmen and women who do not think of the arms trade as a legitimate commercial activity. We need education for peace at every age and level. We certainly need a United Nations with the power to free us "from the scourge of war", as its own Charter promised.

The accompanying booklet discusses some of the major issues raised by the film, lists some of the organisations working in the peace field, and gives references to other sources of information. The aim is to promote discussion amongst people of all backgrounds and opinions including, certainly, the military. The best way, surely, to honour the bravery of those who have had to fight in past wars is to take steps to eliminate war in the future.
