Summary/Abstract: In the current geopolitical context, we aim to highlight, Immanuel Kant's vision of eternal peace, a reformist project, under the aegis of an international society of states. He said that "Because reason, from the throne of the supreme morally law-making power, absolutely condemns war as a procedure and regards the state of peace as an unmitigated duty, it cannot, however, be established or secured without a treaty of the peoples among themselves. Therefore, in the author's view, there must be a union of a special kind, which might be called the Union of Peace and would differ from the Peace Treaty in that it puts an end to all wars and forever. In conclusion, Kant, observes that wars between peoples alone will bring about the phase of universal brotherhood.
