Igne Natura Renovatur Integra

"The concept of international right becomes meaningless if interpreted as a right to go to war. For this would make it a right to determine what is lawful not by means of universally valid external laws, but by means of one-sided maxims backed up by physical force. It could be taken to mean that it is perfectly just for men who adopt this attitude to destroy one another, and thus to find perpetual peace in the vast grave where all the horrors of violence and those responsible for them would buried."
- Kant, I., Reiss, H. S. ed., ([1970] 2005), Political Writings, p. 105, Cambridge, Cambridge University Press.
