Disarmament
From Bahai9
Interview regarding[edit]
- Star of the West, vol. 7, issue 6, p. 42 (impracticality of unilateral disarmament)
Nuclear Disarmament falls short of the Bahá’í position (though we believe it will be necessary along with other types of disarmament) and would involve the Faith in disputes between nations[edit]
"At the present time, the subject of nuclear disarmament has become very much a political issue, with demonstrations taking place not only in the United States but also in England and some western European countries. To single out nuclear disarmament falls short of the Bahá’í position and would involve the Faith in the current disputes between nations. It is very clear that Bahá’ís believe disarmament, not only of nuclear weapons but of biological, chemical and all other forms, is essential."
