1)Freedom of Navigation amongst the seas- This is the second of Wilson's Fourteen points. For the most part this point is still in existence today. His point stated that every nation should have open transportation of the seas in both peace and wartime.
2) A general association of nations must be formed under specific covenants for the purpose of affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike. This is Wilson's fourteenth point and is still seen today this association of nations is call The United Nations.
3)His first point was to put an end to secret treaties. Wilson wanted to make all treaties public knowledge. This would prevent possible outbreaks of war. This unfortunately does not happen today at all. Countries make secret alliances with other countries all the time. This is to try an secure power over other nations, so as long as there is a need to be powerful this will never be possible.
4) His fourth point was that national armaments would be reduced to a level needed for domestic safety. During the time of the USSR most nations had large standing armies, however since the break up of the USSR most Nations have decreased their armies.
The most important point of his fourteen, in my opinion was his fourteenth point, the creation of the league of nations. This allowed for a way for all powerful nations to be on the same page with one another.
