Explore how a proposed International Court of Honour could curb false statements and help secure lasting peace.
In Peace and War in Europe, the book argues that public opinion gains power when facts are accessible, aided by an international authority that can challenge misleading reports and defend reputations across borders. It also looks at how sovereignty, nationalism, and imperial ambitions shape global conflict—and what a world‑federal framework might require.
This work frames a bold proposal in the middle of war: could a supranational court foster truth, justice, and cooperation among nations? It weighs practical questions about creating such an authority, its relationship to governments, and the shifts needed in national policy to sustain peace after conflict. The author also connects broader themes like empire, imperialism, and the evolving role of women in public decision‑making as part of a future peace framework.
