Martinus: Livets Bog, vol. 4, sect. 1520

1520. And since this impulse, the representatives of the world's superpowers have been busy drawing up suggestions and conditions with which they believe it would be possible to form the world organisation that could prevent war, be a court of law for nations, and render war completely superfluous. But an obstacle to the welding together and the stabilisation of such a league is still the misgivings of the superpowers and their fear of handing over power to this new institution. Everyone wants protection and to be safeguarded against unpleasantness, but they are not very willing to pay what it costs to maintain such protection. They would like their neighbour's unlawful acts or those of other states to be forbidden, without their own unlawful acts being curtailed. They identify themselves so much with their own unlawful acts that they believe they are legal and therefore just. As previously mentioned they regard having to give up any of their supposed rights as nothing but "injustice". And it is this "injustice" they fear and oppose. And their opposition thus becomes an opposition to the world authority itself instead of being a supporting impetus.
