The WFMC advocates for increased representation of ordinary citizens in global politics and the United Nations. The proposed United Nations Parliamentary Assembly (UNPA) aims to introduce democratic principles into the UN system by establishing an elected body composed of representatives from national parliaments and scholars. This assembly seeks to enhance democratic accountability and transparency in global decision-making processes.

World Law

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.

Disincentivizing Greed

World Federalists advocate for various reforms to international economic systems to orient them away from profit incentives and toward a more equitable and less volatile global economy. The WFM-Canada unties with community members to spread awareness about important proposals like the Tobin Tax that could rein in speculative transactions and create funding for global initiatives!

Exploring the Potential for Sustainable Global Funding

The UN Budget & Tobin Tax: Funding Global Priorities

The United Nations' annual budget for 2024, approximately $3.2 billion, is tasked with tackling some of the world's most pressing challenges. This figure, however, pales in comparison to global military spending and the wealth of top billionaires. A proposed solution, the Tobin Tax, could raise over $300 billion annually by taxing currency exchanges, potentially providing stable funding for human development priorities. Learn how this small financial innovation could transform the UN's financial future and global cooperation.

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​​.
