More than at any time in human history, we are one world. Finding the means, the legal and political structures, to adequately and democratically address global problems, is one of the greatest political challenges of our time.
World Federalists are committed to overcoming the division of our world among competing states, interests and sovereignties. We understand and uphold the oneness of humanity. And we recognize the many technological, social and political forces that are stitching together tomorrow’s global community.
World Federalists are organized in Canada as a non-profit citizens movement dedicated to advocating the application of the principles of democratic federalism to world affairs.
We support 4 main initiatives:
- Peace and Security
- Global Democratization
- Global Governance Reforms
- Responsibility to Protect

WFMC advocates a much larger role for Canada in support of United Nations peace operations. WFMC advocates the creation of a United Nations Emergency Peace Service (UNEPS), that would provide the UN with a permanent rapid reaction capability.

World Federalists are part of a growing civil society mobilization behind the objective of democratizing governance – nationally, regionally, and at the global level. WFMC participates actively in the Campaign for the Establishment of a Parliamentary Assembly at the United Nations (UNPA). |
