Since World War I, the international community of states has attempted to eliminate armed conflict as a means of settling international disputes. Centuries ago, Disedarius Erasmus (1466-1536) proclaimed: "War is pleasant only for those who have never had any experience of it."

Today, even Super Powers engage illegally in armed interventions, as evidenced by the current invasion of Ukraine by Russian armed forces.
