War is the most barbaric and the least effective means of conflict solution. That is why in recent years various international organizations have intensified their efforts to determine the status of a right of peace and the ways of implementing it. Peace is one of the basic values of solidarity, freedom, and justice that determines human behaviour. It guarantees all rights and freedom. However, it is debatable whether the mere ratification of the right of peace is enough to exercise it. It is necessary to undertake a number of actions aimed at eliminating threats to protect this value. These issues are complex but very important for every person, state, and for the whole human community. The idea of peace also had a significant place in the social teaching of the Church, which is evidenced in Pius XII’s and Jan XXIII’s teaching. Since the beginning of his papacy John Paul II put forth a lot of effort in defending the world peace. This is particularly reflected in his annual messages for World Peace Day. The construction of the peace concept in the teaching of John Paul II covers four pillars, which can be found in the concept of John XXIII and which are laid out by him in the encyclical Pacem in terris. These are: truth, freedom, justice, solidarity. Both in the legal doctrine and the statements of the Fathers of the Church, peace is a guarantee of human dignity. Therefore, it is the duty of everyone, the entire international community to take action in order to prevent conflicts and create life based on truth, freedom, and justice.
