The international situation

Abstract

The atomic bomb carries great potential for destruction and should not be written off as a temporary concern. Scientists who worked on the bomb are disquieted by its implications and would welcome a way to alleviate the danger it poses to humanity. International cooperation is needed to abolish war, as paper agreements and prohibitions will not suffice to prevent its use. A strong international body should be established as the sole repository of atomic energy, with the authority to prevent its use for warfare. There is hope that such a body could perpetuate itself and bring about an end to war. – AI-generated abstract.
