The generation that experienced war and occupation itself was inspired by the thought "never again war". That generation is now slowly dying out. That begs the question of what is actually the case with that dream of never having war again. What about the fight for the humanization of the international legal order? This essay takes stock. Is the elimination of war a mission to be won or just a vision lost in advance? Jan Gruiters (1956) is general director of the IKV Pax Christi peace movement. Previously he worked at the Council of Churches in the Netherlands, where he organized the first national Church Days, and at the Komitee Kruisraketten Nee, where he participated in the organization of the Volkspetitionnement against the placement of cruise missiles in the Netherlands.
