7 –  World Federalist Movement – Canada: Rev. Dr. Karen Hamilton – Member of Council

 

Our goal is to bring about democratic, federal government for our largest community, the world. World federation is a long-term goal, one that is coming about gradually, in stages. Important steps can be taken today which promote cooperation and strengthen the rule of law in international affairs. For example, there is much that can be achieved through progressive reform of the United Nations system. Global problems require global solutions. But as well as the practical political reasons, there is also a moral, ethical component which attracts people to the world federalist cause.
