Quotations:

Albert Einstein:
As long as there are sovereign nations possessing great power, war is inevitable. A world authority and an eventual world state are not just desirable in the name of brotherhood, they are necessary for survival.

Emery Reves:
Wars between groups... forming social units always takes place when these units... exercise unrestricted sovereign power. Wars between these units cease the moment sovereign power is transferred from them to a larger or higher unit.

Kofi Annan, Secretary-General, United Nations:...the answer to world crimes...may lie sooner rather than later in the People of the World becoming aware of the need for, and
striving to use their sovereignty through, a federal system of governing the world, a system of the People, by the People, and for the People.

Bernard Baruch, The Baruuch Plan (1946): We must embrace international cooperation or international disintegration...let us not deceive ourselves; we must elect World Peace or World Destruction.

Stephen Ambrose, U.S.author: The principal lessons of the war (World War !!) seem to be that man's inhumanity to man knows no limit and that science is destined to provide mankind with the means of destroying the world.

Silvin Brucan (1982) Rumanian author: The UN is unable to take effective action...The total impotence of the UN in halting the insane nuclear race is a case in point.
