World Federalist Movement – Institute for Global Policy

Founded in 1947, The World Federalist Movement (WFM) is a global movement with a history of leadership and innovation, dedicated to the realization of global justice, peace and sustainable prosperity through the development of democratic international institutions and the global application of international law. Our primary focus is on strengthening the structures and capacities of international organizations to work effectively in these areas, while promoting the development of norms, policies and practices that allow meaningful global action on specific issues. To achieve our goals, WFM works with and helps to develop international civil society networks, and partners with like-minded governments and international organizations.

Holding ECOSOC consultative status at the UN and located near the United Nations headquarters in New York, WFM-IGP often serves as a hub of information and collective action on UN-related issues. WFM-IGP is an international NGO with 41 member and associate organizations globally. WFM-IGP has been an integral part of such networks as the Hague Appeal for Peace, and plays a leading role in the International Coalition for the Responsibility to Protect (ICRtoP) and the network for the UN Peacebuilding Commission. It also serves as the secretariat for the Coalition for the International Criminal Court (CICC), a network of some 2000 NGOs engaged in matters related to peace and security.

The Institute for Global Policy (IGP) is a research, policy analysis and publications mechanism of the World Federalist Movement. The Institute works to find pragmatic and action-based solutions to some of the world’s most pressing challenges.
