Abstract
The war in Ukraine has added a qualitatively destabilising element to the global war scenario on the map of world geopolitics, and a credible threat of world war that could trigger a nuclear crisis with unimaginable consequences for humanity and with no possibility of turning back. In the face of the warmongering rhetoric that has taken over the political discourse of many of the leaders of the states concerned by this serious conflict that has arisen on the European continent, this article proposes the recovery of the ethical-legal principles that inspire the Kantian pacifist project, and an appeal to the foundations of legal cosmopolitanism and classical republicanism with a view to establishing a future world constitution in which the rights and freedoms of all human beings are realised and the ethical imperative of definitively banishing war and violence as the main evils that compromise the stability of international relations, the conditions for the development of the personality in a peaceful environment, and our own survival on the planet is materialised.
