IS THERE A HUMAN RIGHT TO PEACE? YES YES YES (the U.S. didn't vote for it though)

It demands from its devotees an absolute obedience- unto-death."...

While often used as a synonym for pacifism, since the mid 20th century the term nonviolence has come to embody a diversity of techniques for waging social conflict without the use of violence, as well as the underlying political and philosophical rationale for the use of these techniques.
