World Peace Through World Law, first published in 1958, was a book by Louis B. Sohn and Grenville Clark proposing a Revised United Nations Charter. Among other suggestions, they proposed:
- Allocating votes in the UN General Assembly based on member nations' populations;
- Replacing the UN Security Council with an Executive Council with China, India, USSR, and the US as permanent members, and no veto power; and
- Making a World Police Force the only military force permitted in the world.
