Peace is usually defined as a period without wars. It can refer to an agreement to end the war or end the occupation. Other definitions of peace include freedom from strife, tranquility, harmony or inner contentment, and cheerfulness...because the meaning of the word peace changes with context. A simple and non-extensive definition of peace says that peace is the absence of wars, as the Romans also defined it.
The international organization responsible for maintaining peace between nations is the United Nations, whose goals are to facilitate cooperation in international law, international security, economic development, social progress, human rights, and ultimately the achievement of world peace.
In the history of civilization, peace has always been the ideal state of society, but unfortunately, history is primarily characterized by the state of war and the armed resolution of conflict situations. That war is the dominant way of resolving conflicts in the history of civilization is also shown by the need of the international community to regulate the state of war with the Geneva Convention, which is still current today.
The discussion of peace is therefore simultaneously a discussion of the form of such peace. Is it simply the absence of war or does peace require special morality and justice? Peace must be seen in at least two forms: the simple silence of arms, the absence of war, and the absence of war accompanied by special requirements for the establishment of mutual relations, characterized by terms such as justice, mutual respect, respect for the law, and goodwill.
Peace, in every sense of the word, is man's greatest wealth. "There is no way to peace. "Peace is the way", said the great Mahatma Gandhi....."For my cause I am ready to die, but for no cause, my friend, I am not ready to kill".
