Australia could lead by example, showing the world that peace is not only necessary but achievable through concerted effort and unwavering commitment. The journey toward global peace starts with recognizing the deep interconnectedness of our modern world and the shared benefits that peace brings to all humanity.
The Power of Collective Effort
Finally, the quest for world peace is a shared journey. It requires the commitment of not just governments and policymakers but also of individuals and communities worldwide. Each step taken towards disarmament, each investment in peace education, and each diplomatic effort made contributes to a tapestry of actions weaving a more peaceful future.
This vision for a peaceful tomorrow is not only achievable—it is necessary. As Australia continues to lead and collaborate on these efforts, it invites others to join in creating a legacy of peace that will help generations to come. The time to act is now, with each of us playing a role in crafting a world where peace is not just a dream but a reality.

In a speech titled “On Power and Ideology” delivered at The New School for Social Research in Manhattan on Saturday, world-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky discussed the persistent notion of U.S. exceptionalism, Republican efforts to torpedo the Iran nuclear deal, and the normalization of U.S.-Cuba relations.
In clips broadcast by “Democracy Now!”, Chomsky explained why he believes the U.S. poses the greatest threat to world peace.
“[The United States] is a rogue state, indifferent to international law and conventions, entitled to resort to violence at will. … Take, for example, the Clinton Doctrine—namely, the United States is free to resort to unilateral use of military power, even for such purposes as to ensure uninhibited access to key markets, energy supplies and strategic resources—let alone security or alleged humanitarian concerns. And adherence to this doctrine is very well confirmed and practiced, as need hardly be discussed among people willing to look at the facts of current history.”
Chomsky also explained why he believes the U.S. and its closest allies, namely Saudi Arabia and Israel, are undermining the possibility for peace in the Middle East.
“When we say the international community opposes Iran’s policies or the international community does some other thing, that means the United States and anybody else who happens to be going along with it.”
