A Nonkilling Society
The main thesis behind nonkilling is that a killing-free society is possible. This ‘nonkilling society’ implies not only the exclusion of killing among humans, but moreover the absence of threats, weapons or justifications to kill –including the preservation or transformation of that society– and conditions conductive to killing. Lethality is therefore excluded as a structural element of human society, as no relations, including those of conflict, are dependent on killing, either actual or threatened, for their sustainability or alteration.
