Supreme Tribunal
From Bahaipedia
A Supreme Tribunal[1] or world tribunal is an international judicial institution mentioned by Bahá’u’lláh and elaborated by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the Guardian, and envisaged as part of the establishment of the Lesser Peace[1] along with a World Parliament and International Executive, all parts of an eventual world super-state.[2]
Scriptural basis[edit]
The Lesser Peace refers to an international political peace agreement which will be established as a prelude to the Most Great Peace and the establishment of a new system of international governance.[3][4]
The Supreme Tribunal will adjudicate any disputes under such an agreement.
