Law not War
The "Law Not War" initiative is a global campaign aimed at enhancing the jurisdiction and use of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to assist countries in resolving international disputes peacefully, rather than through force or the threat of force. The main goal of the initiative is to increase the number of states that accept the compulsory jurisdiction of the ICJ, with the hope of achieving universal acceptance by 2045, which will mark the 100th anniversary of the United Nations. The campaign focuses on promoting the greater use of the ICJ by UN bodies, encouraging states to utilize the ICJ by mutual agreement for disputes, and supporting the inclusion of compulsory ICJ jurisdiction clauses in international treaties.

UN Summit for the Future
The Coalition for the UN We Need (C4UN) is an initiative focused on fostering a new kind of multilateralism that emphasizes generosity, true partnership, mutualism, justice, and the fulfillment of promises made. It seeks to respond to the interconnectedness of today's world, which demands new relationships that go beyond treaties, trade, and capital to include trust, integrity, solidarity, and a shared commitment to the well-being of all.
C4UN, formerly known as UN2020, is dedicated to advancing efforts in partnership with global community well-wishers towards this new paradigm for global governance. It operates under the belief that civil society is not just a voice of criticism or conscience but also a guiding force that dictates the direction governments should take. This approach calls for whole-of-society engagement, recognizing that solutions to global challenges cannot be achieved by governments or any single pillar of society independently.
