Pax mundi : A concise account of the progress of the movement for peace by means of arbitration, neutralization, international law and disarmament

This work offers a clear‑sighted survey of how the idea of replacing war with law has unfolded over the past century. Drawing on diplomatic milestones, it shows how arbitration has already settled dozens of dangerous disputes and how neutral powers have helped restrain aggression. The author, a seasoned parliamentarian, blends pragmatic political insight with a broader moral outlook, highlighting concrete steps such as treaty clauses and early international tribunals.

Readers will find a steady narrative that balances optimism with realism, noting both the progress made and the obstacles that still loom—particularly in contested regions like the Balkans and the strategic straits. By tracing the growing public recognition of shared human responsibilities, the book makes a compelling case that the momentum toward lasting peace is unmistakable, even if the journey remains gradual.
