One World is a non-governmental, non-profit organization working to promote global democracy and world federalism. Our main activities are public education and awareness raising about the need for a more democratic global politics. We also participate in international coalitions that advocate for specific reforms in the UN and the wider global system, and we run campaigns on a range of issues related to global democracy. Inspired by such visionaries as Einstein and Gandhi, we regard inclusive federal democracy at the global level as a necessary precondition for justice, peace and prosperity for all of humanity.

 

Our Vision

In our globalizing world no nation is an island to itself. Having democracy at the global level is both possible and necessary.

Activities

Learn about our activities: Lectures, meetings, campaigns, international summer seminar, promoting world citizenship and more.

Welcome on board

Attend one of our lectures or invite us to give one, watch our lectures on Global Democracy and Justice, or volunteer to spread the word.

  • "If I can get freedom for India now [...] empire idea dissolves and world-state takes its place, in which all the states of the world are free and equal, no State has its military, there may be a world police to keep order in the absence of universal belief in non-violence."

  • “With all my heart I believe that the world’s present system of sovereign nations can only lead to barbarism, war, and inhumanity. Mankind’s desire for peace can be realized only by the creation of a world government.”

  • "A federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient means of social justice to ensure health, education, and a rough equality of opportunity, would mean such a release and increase of human energy as to open a new phase in human history."

  • “Our task is not to overthrow globalisation, but to capture it, and to use it as a vehicle for humanity’s first global democratic revolution.”

  • "Faced with the globalization of economy and finance, the mounting imbalance in the distribution of wealth, and asymmetric threats to international security, the answer that is provided by the cooperation of nation-states is often no longer enough. There's an increased urgency that political institutions and instruments of participation and democracy also go through a process of globalization. That's why I support the establishment of a UN Parliamentary Assembly."

    Federica Mogherini, 2013

  • "Today the universal common good poses problems of worldwide dimensions, which cannot be adequately tackled or solved except by the efforts of a public authority [...] which is in a position to operate in an effective manner on a world-wide basis. The moral order itself, therefore, demands that such a form of public authority be established."

    Pope John XXIII, 1963

  • "I have no doubt in my mind that the World Government must and will come, for there is no other remedy for the world's sickness. It can be an extension of the federal principle, a growth of the idea underlying the United Nations, giving each national unit freedom to fashion its destiny according to its genius, but subject always to the basic covenant of the world Government."

    Jawaharlal Nehru, 1948
