“peaceful coexistence” in “a world safe for diversity” this experience is
more likely to serve the national interest of each than is ad hoc calculation
of power politics. Cold war rivalries have in recent times induced aggres-
sions, interventions, and subversions in violation of international law and
the principles of the Charter. It is to be hoped that the fading of the cold
war, appreciation of the perils of power politics, and understanding of the
trend of international relations will induce appreciation of the need for a
world rule of law and energy in devising means to realize it.

versal truth that loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provision against danger,
real or pretended, from abroad,” quoted by Harold D. Lasswell, National Security
and Individual Freedom (New York, 1950), p. 23. See also, ibid., p. 47, and H. Lass-
