Abstract
	It is shown that it is possible to rule out all local and stochastic hidden variable theories accounting for the quantum predictions implied by almost any entangled state of any number of particles whose Hilbert spaces have arbitrary dimensions, without resorting to Bell's type inequalities. The proof is the most general proof of nonlocality without inequalities which has been presented up to now, to our knowledge. Its generality stems from the fact that it deals with stochastic hidden variable theories of which the deterministic ones are only a particular case, it works for almost all entangled states, it makes use of the mathematically precise notion of Bell locality and, finally it involves only simple set theoretical arguments.
