MANIFESTO FOR THE RECOGNITION OF THE ONTOLOGICAL AND UNIVERSAL RIGHT TO PEACE AS A LEGAL AND DIPLOMATIC IMPERATIVE: AN ACADEMIC FRAMEWORK

This manifesto presents a comprehensive framework for establishing peace as a fundamental, justiciable human right grounded in ontological principles. Moving beyond conventional definitions of peace as merely the absence of conflict, this work proposes "pacificity" as a measurable concept encompassing seven progressive degrees of peace embodiment-from individual heart purification to the formation of ontologically peaceful nations. Drawing upon Islamic spirituality (particularly Ibn ʿArabī and Emir Abdelkader), René Guénon's traditional metaphysics, and contemporary international frameworks including the UN Pact for the Future (2024), this research identifies a critical legal vacuum in international law's failure to explicitly recognize peace as an autonomous right. The study proposes concrete implementation strategies through metagogical education, ethical governance, and spiritual diplomacy, culminating in a call for an International Covenant on the Right to Peace and the establishment of an International Index of the Right to Peace (IIRP). The methodology combines textual analysis of sacred traditions, examination of international legal instruments, and synthesis of spiritual and secular approaches to peace building. This work contributes to the emerging field of spiritual diplomacy and offers a transformative vision for global governance rooted in transcendent principles of human dignity and cosmic harmony.
