Synopsis

Si la volonte de puissance a ponctue les siecles de conflits et de batailles au point de donner parfois a la guerre un caractere sacre, l’elan humaniste des Temps modernes a ete traverse d’une intense aspiration a la paix qui s’est traduite par de multiples tentatives pour faire cesser les guerres et construire la paix selon les voies du droit. Pourtant, l’immense optimisme juridique qui preside aux efforts des instittutions internationnales est loin de trouver sa justificatin dans la chair de notre histoire: il arrive que les raffinements des techniques de destruction prennent le visage de l’horreur. De ce constat, le philosophe ne doit pas conclure que la paix durable prend sur notre terre la silhouette d’une utopie. Au-dela des drames, la paix est cet Ideal de la raison pratique qui impose aux hommes un veto irresistible: Il ne doit y avoir aucune guerre. Certes, l’Idee de la paix, comme toute Idee de la raison, est irrealisable. Mais entre le sol de l’impossible et l’horizon de l’esperance, la tache du droit international est de construire les moyens juridiques qui la rendront moins fragile: tache infinie, interminable comme l’est le travail de Sisyphe.
