The Fourth Freedom Forum's mission is to encourage discussion, development, and dissemination of ideas that can free humankind from the fear of war. The goal is to prevent armed aggression and eliminate nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction through enforceable international law. The Forum explores options for more effective and humane forms of economic statecraft to promote global norms and international cooperation.
