Apr 20: Can We Have World Peace Without a Democratic World Government?
A world government will have powers to prevent wars. In today’s world, although most nations may genuinely want peace, they also want to retain sovereignty. Ironically sovereignty includes the power to start wars. Bob Gauntt, Vice President of the Coalition for Democratic World Government, will make a short presentation and raise the following questions for discussion: (1) What are some ideas, if any, for world peace that might work even while nations retain war-making powers? (2) Can national war-making powers be eliminated without a world government?
The Humanist Community Forum will meet at 11am at Mitchell Park Community Center. The Mitchell Park Community Center is located at 3800 Middlefield Road, Palo Alto, Just north of Charleston Road.
