We saw that international organizations and laws are not able to do anything serious to prevent war. Therefore, the answer to this global phenomenon lies in domestic laws, not international. In order to prevent future wars we should focus our attention on domestic issues first. Here are some possible solutions for how to prevent wars - terms called the Head of State and the Referendum.

According to its definition, the Head of State is the general term for the individual or collective office that serves as the chief public representative of a monarchy or republic, a nation-state, a federation, a commonwealth or any other political state. In terms of protocol, states are distinguished as monarchy or republic, depending on the style of their head of state.

Different state constitutions establish different political systems, but four major types of heads of state can be distinguished:

the non-executive head of state system, in which the head of state does not hold any executive power and mainly plays a symbolic role on behalf of the state;

the parliamentary system, in which the head of state possesses executive power but the exercise of this power is done on the advice of a cabinet;

the presidential system (sometimes called "imperial"), in which the head of state is also the head of government and actively exercises executive power; and

the semi-presidential system, in which the head of state shares exercise of executive power with a head of government.

In everyday life, the head of state is a legal representative of the people of the country in which they were elected.

Their duty, therefore, is to serve and work in the best interest of the nation which he/she represents as the head of state. Consequently, if the head of state wishes to start a war and thinks that war is in the best interest of the nation, than it behooves them to go to that same war.

We can see that many important issues are determined by the people through referendums, but never when it comes to war. Why is there no war referendum? Because there is no nation in the world which will vote in favor of war and government officials know that. Maybe this is the time when we the people should take the matter into our own hands and stop this war trend since nobody else can.
