Outline historical development
- Kant - The concept of a peaceful community of nations had been proposed as far back as 1795, when Immanuel Kant's Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch outlined the idea of a league of nations to control conflict and promote peace between states. Kant argued for the establishment of a peaceful world community, not in a sense of a global government, but in the hope that each state would declare itself a free state that respects its citizens and welcomes foreign visitors as fellow rational beings, thus promoting peaceful society worldwide.[1]
- After 1815, Concert of Europe - After the Napoleonic wars, European powers established the Concert of Europe.[2] This was the balance of power that existed in Europe from 1815 to the outbreak of World War I (1914), albeit with major alterations after the revolutions of 1848. It was a kind of European federation. The so-called eight Great Powers of Europe held several conferences to discuss international law and to protect the national boundaries as established in 1815.
