Put Military Neutrality and a Ban on War in Every Nation's Constitution

Governments of the World's Nations

Veterans Global Peace Network is launching this campaign to encourage as many countries as possible to enshrine positive military neutrality in their constitutions.

The Hague Convention on neutrality is regarded as the foundation stone for international laws on neutrality. All states are bound to comply with its provisions even if they have not signed or ratified this convention. Read background on this campaign here.

World BEYOND War will work with chapters, affiliates, and allies in as many countries as possible to deliver the petition below to governments.

We urge you to enshrine positive military neutrality in the Constitution of your nation.

The primary purpose of constitutional neutrality is to prevent governments involving countries in illegal wars of aggression. The positive aspect of neutrality means actively promoting international peace and justice.

Here is sample language that can be included in a Constitution:
1. The state shall not participate in any war or other armed conflict, nor aid any foreign powers in any way in preparation for war or other armed conflict.
2. The state will actively promote international peace and justice by peaceful means only.
