Though it is premature to try and endeavour to foresee on
what basis various nations would be represented on any international council,
or in any international form of government, it is clear that from the Bahá’í
standpoint it could only be carried out on a basis of true justice; and justice
does not imply one race having a preponderating vote over some other race’s
representatives, and thus being in a position to dominate them.
