Tehran – A bold proposal has been introduced to redefine global security in the 21st century: the creation of a unified global army under the oversight of the United Nations. Its mission is to end wars and redirect vast military spending toward human welfare and sustainable development.
Each nation would contribute only 5% of its military budget to the Global Collective Defense Force, freeing the remaining 95% for healthcare, education, infrastructure, and climate action.
Key pillars include:
- Global Peace Council – strategic decision-making body.
- Executive Secretariat – manages operations and training.
- Legal & Arbitration Committee – ensures fair dispute resolution.
- Ethics & Human Rights Committee – enforces accountability.
Benefits: sustainable peace, protection of national wealth, socioeconomic leap, and focus on real threats like climate change and pandemics.
Challenges: preserving sovereignty, preventing misuse of power, and overcoming resistance from war profiteers.
This vision is not utopia but a roadmap. Its success depends on dialogue, trust, and courage.
