" Because both police and armed forces duties are explicit. In this day and
time when we speak of police units specialized to perform military
operations as "para-military"."
Dear Scott,
When I think of paramilitary, I think of citizen militias.
"However, the "Greater" Peace is supposed to be a peace ensured by the
world's spiritual commitment to peace."
I thought it had as much to do with the world's commitment to the Baha'i
Teachings.
"That, I doubt requires executive force."
Then why a death penalty in the Aqdas? Doesn't that imply coercive force?
"I don't think it would either. The UHJ is pretty obviously a judicial body
and judicial bodies do not command armies."
It is primarily a legislative body, though judicial functions appear to be
under their authority as well.
warmest, Susan
