The central goal of this paper is to reaffirm the call for a more sustainable international system. In doing so, it will re-introduce the concept of perpetual peace by Kant. The choice of Kant’s perpetual peace as the theoretical framework is based on the assumption that his theory best provides solutions to the ill-practices surrounding world political structures. Consequently, the paper has chosen the Bakassi peninsular dispute between Nigeria and Cameroon to showcase the areas that need to be addressed in other to attain this everlasting peace in our world. Suffice it to say that this paper might not be advocating for a world government. However, what is not on its ‘table’ is the sustenance of the status quo: the current anarchical international system.
