Many efforts at securing peace through broad international cooperation have not achieved the desired results. The efforts of League of Nations, and its successor, the United Nations, only show how worst it could have been in a world devoid of treatises, where human nature was allowed to express itself. Under Bush doctrine, the U.S attempted to export democracy, and forcibly too to some nations in a belief that it would guarantee peace but the Islamic nations proved resistant. On their own, they tried exporting Islamic models and often forcefully try to win followers so as to establish theocracy, which unfortunately yielded more violence. Hence this inherent conflict between existing political systems is the bane of global peace. Democratic Approach that has gained wider acceptability is at odds with Islamic law and communist thinking. Therefore, effecting peace through any of these would mean forcing people into compliance. There is therefore a need to create a mould that will tolerate these differences and establish a common ground from the best of the options to ensure global peace. It Kant’s categorical imperative simply born out of reason, on which the foundation of his perpetual peace was laid, is taken as the holy write to guide all religions and cultures involved, this common ground will sure become a reality.

OTHER ATTEMPTS ON GLOBAL PEACE.
In the history of political thought, Kant’s treatise on peace is not unique. It is part of a long tradition of works attempting to answer the question of how war, the scourge of humanity could be ended. It is probably safe to say that the act of preferring solution to the constant crises that envelop the human race has always been part of human interaction and social development. Every society has created various means of regulating disputes, among its own members and between it and other societies. Various would-be world conquerors have promised that their rule would enforce global peace. Unfortunately, no empire has ever extended its authority over the entire world, and this makes it absurd to talk of universal peace. Typical example of such like Roman Empire recorded incidents like Jewish Revolt, British Raji etc. The Islamic expansion in Africa was fiercely resisted by many less organised states like the Igbo and Yoruba in Southern Nigeria. Even the British Empire had its own form of resistance from their colonies. These incidences are quite different from what Iran, North Korea and others today pose to United
