6 Quotes by Ben Ferencz

If they tell me they want war instead of peace I don't see they're naive, I see they're stupid; stupid to an incredible degree to send young people out to kill other young people they don't even know, who never did anybody any harm.

If it's naive to want peace instead of war, better make sure they call me naive. Because I want peace instead of war. If they tell me they want war instead of peace I don't see they're naive, I see they're stupid; stupid to an incredible degree to send young people out to kill other young people they don't even know, who never did anybody any harm...I am naive?! That's insane

There can be no peace without justice, no justice without law and no meaningful law without a Court to decide what is just and lawful under any given circumstance

War makes murderers out of otherwise decent people.

I prefer law to war under all circumstances

You know what keeps me going? I know I'm right.
