Mission
To promote the strengthening and democratization of global governance, and to pursue the high purposes of the United Nations Charter, through research, education and advocacy.
To this end WFM-C aims to promote within Canada the development of a democratic world federation based on the world federalist principle of subsidiarity. Humanity’s very survival on Earth depends on achieving a rapid acceleration of effective global cooperation through democratic global governance. WFM-C believes that Canada is well positioned to take a leadership role in this effort.
WFM-Canada is part of the global World Federalist Movement which finds its roots in the 1947 Montreux Declaration. That historic declaration defines 6 aspirational principles of world federalism.
Principles of World Federalism
We advocate for methods that contribute to the early establishment of a world federal government to prevent another devastating global conflict. The formation of regional federations – insofar as they do not become an end in themselves or run the risk of crystallising into blocs – can and should contribute to the effective functioning of federal government. In the same way, the solution of technical, scientific and cultural problems which concern all the peoples of the world, will be made easier by the establishment of specialist functional bodies.
Our Values
At The World Federalist Movement – Canada we firmly believe that fostering an inclusive and equitable environment is not just a moral imperative but a fundamental human right. We believe that all individuals should be valued, respected and provided equal opportunities regardless of ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. We are committed to upholding the concepts of one-humanity that are rooted in world-federalism itself, and derived from foundational charters, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the United Nations Charter.
