“Verse 49 of Chapter 10 of the Holy Qur’an lays down the following principles for the maintenance of international peace. As soon as there are indications of disagreement between two nations, the other nations, instead of taking sides with one or other, should at once serve a notice upon them, calling upon them to submit their differences for settlement to a ‘League of Nations’ or ‘United Nations Organisation’ as the case may be. If they agree the dispute will be amicably settled. But if one of them refuses to submit to the ‘League’ or having submitted refuses to accept the award of the ‘League’ and prepares to make war, the other nations should all fight against it. It is evident that one nation, however strong, cannot withstand the united might of all other nations and is bound to make a speedy submission. In that event terms of peace should be settled between the two original parties to the dispute. The other nations should act merely as mediators and not as parties to the dispute and should not put forward new claims arising out of the conflict with the refractory nation, for that would lay foundation of fresh disputes and quarrels. The terms of peace should be just and equitable with reference to the merits of disputes; they should be confined to the original dispute between the parties and should not be allowed to travel beyond it. It is such a ‘League’ or ‘Organisation’ which can safely be entrusted with the maintenance of international peace, not a league or organisation whose very existence is dependent upon the goodwill of others.”
