<P> (The Quran) teaches that when two nations are in dispute and this leads to war, then other governments should strongly counsel them towards dialogue and diplomacy so that they can come to an agreement and reconciliation on a basis of a negotiated settlement . If, however, one of the parties does not accept the terms of agreement and wages war, then other countries should unite together and stop that aggressor . When the aggressive nation is defeated and agrees to mutual negotiation, then all parties should work towards an agreement that leads to long - standing peace and reconciliation . </P> <P> Bahá'u'lláh (1817--1892), the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, prescribed collective security as a means to establish world peace in his writings during the 19th century: </P> <P> The time must come when the imperative necessity for the holding of a vast, an all - embracing assemblage of men will be universally realized . The rulers and kings of the earth must needs attend it, and, participating in its deliberations, must consider such ways and means as will lay the foundations of the world's Great Peace amongst men . Such a peace demandeth that the Great Powers should resolve, for the sake of the tranquility of the peoples of the earth, to be fully reconciled among themselves . Should any king take up arms against another, all should unitedly arise and prevent him . If this be done, the nations of the world will no longer require any armaments, except for the purpose of preserving the security of their realms and of maintaining internal order within their territories . This will ensure the peace and composure of every people, government and nation . </P> <P> International co-operation to promote collective security originated in the Concert of Europe that developed after the Napoleonic Wars in the nineteenth century in an attempt to maintain the status quo between European states and so avoid war . This period also saw the development of international law with the first Geneva Conventions establishing laws about humanitarian relief during war and the international Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907 governing rules of war and the peaceful settlement of international disputes . </P>

Who said collective security is based on the principle of one for all and all for one
