Mission

Created in 1947, the World Federalist Movement (WFM) is an international citizens' movement working for justice, peace, and sustainable prosperity. We call for an end to the rule of force, through a world governed by law, based on strengthened and democratized world institutions. World federalists support the creation of democratic global structures accountable to the citizens of the world and call for the division of international authority among separate agencies. The Institute for Global Policy (IGP) was founded in 1983 as the research and policy analysis arm of the WFM. IGP is the primary education mechanism of WFM and seeks to promote better understanding of the UN and other international organizations. IGP was also conceived of as a framework for WFM to promote debate on key issues of global governance in the media and other matters requiring a more neutral platform.
