The biannual publication of the World Federalist Movement – Canada
As the days of summer wax, we approach what has been hailed as a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity for profound change in global governance as we know it: the Summit of the Future.
In this double feature issue of Mondial, we bring you firsthand perspective from those at the epicentre of the Summit of the Future process, a project envisioned by United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres with an aspiration to “create a new international consensus on how to safeguard the future and improve the present.”
The second part of this double issue focuses on the fulcrum of global governance: law. Recognizing that there can be no peace without justice, we trace a path from the origins of modern international humanitarian law and the birth of the “spirit of The Hague” 125 years ago to current efforts to bring an end to impunity and realize accountability for international crimes that shock the conscience of humanity.
We are seeking submissions that align with Mondial’s World Federalist mission and engage our readership with relevant topics related to current events or contemporary global issues. Submissions are not limited to articles, op-eds, and book reviews but also include poems and original art. We welcome fresh perspectives and novel approaches to these topics!
