to take constitutional or legislative action requiring parliamentary approval
to initiate armed conflict, except in extreme cases requiring immediate action

religious hatred that constitutes incitement to discrimination, hostility or
violence shall be prohibited by law.
Unesco C preamble: The Governments of the States Parties to this
Constitution on behalf of their peoples declare: That since wars begin in the
minds of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences
of peace must be constructed; That ignorance of each other’s ways and lives has
been a common cause, throughout the history of mankind, of that suspicion and
mistrust between the peoples of the world through which their differences have
all too often broken into war; That the great and terrible war which has now
ended was a war made possible by the denial of the democratic principles of the
dignity, equality and mutual respect of men, and by the propagation, in their
place, through ignorance and prejudice, of the doctrine of the inequality of
men and races...

sacred right to peace; 2. Solemnly declares that the preservation of the right

of the right of peoples to peace demands that the policies of States be

right of peoples to peace through the adoption of appropriate measures at both
