Freedom from War – 7277 booklet

On September 25, 1961, President Kennedy unveiled at the United Nations a plan which was subsequently printed as State Department Publication 7277, entitled Freedom From War: The United States Program for General and Complete Disarmament in a Peaceful World. The plan called for the “disbanding of all national armed forces … other than those required to preserve internal order and for contributions to a United Nations Peace Force,” and the “elimination from national arsenals of all armaments … other than those required for a United Nations Peace Force and for maintaining internal order.” According to the plan, once implemented, “no state [including the U.S.] would have the military power to challenge the progressively strengthened U.N. Peace Force.” Now, get the explosive text of publication 7277 and read the plans for disarmament under the United Nations for yourself. (State Department Document, 1961)
