"No treaty of peace shall be held valid in which there is tacitly reserved matter for a future war. Otherwise, a treaty would be only a truce, a suspension of hostilities but not peace, which means an end to all hostilities - so much so that even to attach the word "perpetual" to it is a dubious pleonasm."
- Immanuel Kant, Perpetual Peace (1795)
