World BEYOND War
World BEYOND War was established on January 1, 2014, by co-founders David Hartsough and David Swanson with the aim of creating a worldwide movement to eliminate the concept of war entirely, rather than just addressing current conflicts. The organization believes that if we truly want to end war, it must no longer be seen as a feasible solution. Just like there is no acceptable form of slavery, there is no such thing as a “justified” war. Both are unacceptable under any circumstances. So, if war cannot be the means to settle international disputes, what alternatives do we have? The core mission of WBW is to develop a global security framework grounded in international law, diplomacy, cooperation, and respect for human rights, and to protect these values through nonviolent methods instead of threats of violence. Our initiatives involve educating people to challenge common misconceptions, such as the ideas that "war is a natural part of life" or "war has always existed," while demonstrating that not only can war be abolished, but it is also achievable. Our efforts encompass various forms of nonviolent activism aimed at steering the world toward a future free from war.

By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, June 2, 2025Not so much criminals as the foundations of the rule of law — that is what has infiltrated the United States from Latin America. That seems to be a major thread running through Greg Grandin’s wonderful new history of the hemisphere, America, América: A New History of the New World.
