Introduction to the Study

Peace is the ultimate necessity for humanity today. It is a matter of life or death. The advancements in modern transportation, continuously shrinking the barriers of time and space, have rendered this planet too small for a divided, armed, and warring humanity.
Despite humanity's extensive experience with warfare, which has demonstrated that wars do not resolve conflicts, the advent of modern weapons of mass destruction has introduced a new reality: war is no longer just ineffective; it is a calamity for both the defeated and the victor. It has become evident that if a modern scientific war breaks out, there will be no winner or loser, only the annihilation of contemporary civilization and a setback in the progress for which humanity has paid dearly with its sweat, tears, and blood.
Humanity now stands at a crossroads with little time to linger in hesitation or indulge in efforts devoid of wisdom and insight. It must choose one of two paths: either ascend towards the peaks of civilization and peace or descend into the abyss of barbarism and warfare. Modern wars, signify only ruin and destruction. For this reason, we stated earlier that the need for peace today is a matter of life or death.
