One of my favourite quotes:
“War as an institution to ‘settle disputes’ and establish ‘justice among nations’ is the most barbarous and indefensible thing in civilization. . . . The real disease of the world is the legality and availability of war . . . . [W]e should have, not as now, laws of war, but laws against war; there are no laws of murdering or of poisoning, but laws against them.” – Salmon Oliver Levinson (August 25, 1917)

According to,
https://www.britannica.com/biography/Salmon-Oliver-Levinson
"In an article in the New Republic, March 9, 1918, he argued that violence by nation-states should be declared illegal. During the waning months of World War I he was able to win leaders in many fields to his cause. Levinson later assisted in drafting the Kellogg-Briand Pact (1928), which “outlawed” war in a legal sense."
