Abstract

Development is considered as a situation of progressive and irreversible improvement of the economy, to the benefit of all humans. Speaking of « sustainable » development seems, in this context, a pleonasm. However, sustainable implies some values that economy, in its fundamental selfishness, seems to have forgotten. It is so for ecology, environment, health and education. Security is an essential component of a durable development and armament is often a powerful brake for sustainable development if it is possible to reduce predation and wars. Disarmament is interesting, but a situation of peace is not necessarily preferable to a situation of conflict, tyranny, slavery or non- respect of the human rights. Peace is a basic need for sustainable development.
