Message Muhammad Irfan

-    United Nations Organization should be more powerful and independent to maintain rule of law over the world. It should not be voice of a sole super power. It should protect the weaker states from aggression. For this purpose, it should have its own economy. It should build up its own powerful military which may enforce the rule of law.

-    The states perceiving external threats should either develop their own weapon or make an alliance with a powerful state having nuclear weapons. For example, Pakistan developed its own nuclear bomb to check the Indian nuclear blackmailing. Turkey made alliance with the western block during cold war by joining the NATO, to deter the Soviet aggression. Kenneth's position about nuclear weapons looks more relevant.

Conclusion

International Order is a hierarchical system at international level, aimed at to bring peace and stability. It is relevant to solve the issues and to save the world from the horrors of wars. Therefore, there should be a rule of norms and values. Those states follow the policies of antagonism, should remove the aggressive policies and cooperate with other states and the more there would be cooperation among the states, the more international order would be conducive. For this purpose, the idealistic approach is more relevant, which emphasizes on peace, prosperity, cooperation and non-violence behavior of the states.
