World BEYOND War
Non-profit
World BEYOND War was founded on January 1st, 2014, when co-founders David Hartsough and David Swanson set out to create a global movement to abolish the institution of war itself, not just the “war of the day.” If war is ever to be abolished, then it must be taken off the table as a viable option. Just as there is no such thing as “good” or necessary slavery, there is no such thing as a “good” or necessary war. Both institutions are abhorrent and never acceptable, no matter the circumstances. So, if we can’t use war to resolve international conflicts, what can we do? Finding a way to transition to a global security system that is supported by international law, diplomacy, collaboration, and human rights, and defending those things with nonviolent action rather than the threat of violence, is the heart of WBW. Our work includes education that dispels myths, like “War is natural” or “We have always had war,” and shows people not only that war should be abolished, but also that it actually can be. Our work includes all variety of nonviolent activism that moves the world in the direction of ending all war. Source

10 Reasons for Public Executions
By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, October 9, 2026 There was no public demand that led to the U.S. military announcing that it would publicly execute someone on livestreamed video (a list of advertisers, if any, during the broadcast has not been released — add your guesses below). No polling favored it. No fashion for being like Saudi Arabia was afloat. Outside of Supreme Court Justices, a return to the 18th century is generally not in vogue. So why do it? I can guess at a few contributing factors.
