It is for peace, more than a mere bastard child of history that speaks of “peace” and “rights”.

While engaged in the elimination of both peace and war. All those have had their periods of fame and infamy and....all.

(thankfully) hope it disappeared into the dumpster of history and gave a hope to peace can be successful in this world.
