Well it would obviously work if people all around the world realised we don't need armies. Then that situation wouldn't happen.

I don't know if you're incredibly naive or just carrying an argument for the sake of having one.

The day all nations of the world have no military forces would be the day those who abstained from the abolition of armed forces would have carte blanche to take whatever resources they wanted and occupy any territory they saw fit.

There would still be law enforcement, which I beleive keeps whet you say from happening even today.

Law enforcement agencies would include special response teams or para-military forces and local militia units, which on a larger level would be defined as national defense forces such as the SDF of Japan. It's not an army as armies are unconstitutional under their law and yet the SDF is one of the most advanced military forces in the world.

And if you believe the presence of police forces small enough to avoid consolidation of military power would function effectively on a global level, then there really isn't any further need to debate as you really are too naive to see reality.

Even in a policed world with international laws, warlords thrive, piracy still exists and when the largest crisis appear, it's the National Guard, NATO or whatever appropriate military force that ends up being called upon to contain the situation.
