Indeed peace is only possible if reciprocal dependence already by its nature requires the defeat of every form of exclusion, the renunciation of every form of economic, military or national imperialism and the transformation of mutual diffidence into friendly collaboration. The special act of solidarity among individual persons and among peoples lies precisely in this. Opus iustitiae pax. Peace is the fruit of justice. Opus solidarietatis pax.
Peace is the fruit of solidarity.
