Fourth Freedom Forum

URL: http://www.fourthfreedom.org/

The Fourth Freedom Forum is working to create a more civilized world based on the force of law rather than the law of force. We believe that economic power is greater than military might, and that the effective use of economic incentives and sanctions offers the greatest hope for creating a more secure and peaceful future.

By combining carrots—economic and political incentives, diplomatic engagement, and offers of trade, investment, and technology—with sticks—especially the use of "smart" sanctions such as targeted financial sanctions and arms embargoes—the world community can prevent nuclear proliferation, eliminate weapons of mass destruction, and enforce civilized standards of behavior without resort to military violence.
