		That is why world federalists have concentrated on a UN Parliamentary Assembly as the democratic input for "we the peoples …" alongside the General Assembly (for the states) and led the NGO community in promoting the International Criminal Court.

		Those involved with the movement for many years have seen that what was still regarded as an impossible and idealistic vision only twenty years ago is now being discussed at the highest levels of international diplomacy and is beginning to be translated into reality.

		It is common that during the historical evolution of a federation there is a gradual movement of power from the component states to the centre, as the federal government acquires additional powers, sometimes to deal with unforeseen circumstances.
		Movements associated with the establishment or development of federations can be either centralising or decentralising.
		For example, at the time those nations were being established, 'federalists' in the United States and Australia were those who advocated the creation of strong central government.

	Secret Agenda: Law of the Sea Treaty (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The deep involvement of the World Federalists in the campaign for LOST suggests that, even if the treaty somehow aids freedom of navigation, there is another agenda that has been concealed from the public, our Senators and top U.S. military officials.

	World Federalism
		World Federalism means having democratically accountable political institutions to deal with issues at the most appropriate level, according to the principle of subsidiarity.
		I think that world government can be seen as the logical end point of an evolution of political institutions which been in progress for several centuries now.

	Uniting the Peoples & Nations [Book Review]
		During the Cold War years, world federalists were largely viewed as an overly idealistic and dreamy bunch -- even though their proposals for the creation of a world federal system sounded quite attractive versus the very real prospects for global destruction in a U.S.-Soviet nuclear exchange.
		People in the World Federalist Movement, however, have thought about this problem for a long time, and amidst the growing clamor for something to be done, they have produced an important new book, one which is sure to be valuable as the debate over how to unite our fractured world broadens.
		Published at the end of 1993 by the Movement and its U.S. affiliate, the World Federalist Association, Uniting the Peoples and the Nations -- Readings in World Federalism offers a wide-ranging and multi-faceted view of what federalism is and how it might be applied on a global level.

		She shrugged, and smiled as if to accept gladly the challenge from those who want the world to remain ungoverned in world affairs, a world where all people really need to become well-endowed world citizens if warlessness is to prevail.
		The world fashion of regarding world peace as a benign but unreachable goal had all-but subsided, somewhat replaced by a realization, not quite fully global, that world peace was in fact the rootin’-tootin’ imperative to forestall the demise of “civilization.”
		Around the world, the mood, afternoon, evening and night, could be glimpsed as reflective and resigned-to-dismissing the failure as passing.

		Fundamentally different from the 51 nations of 1945, the world of today is much more interdependent with a variety of new powerful nations and contributors to the international community.
		Recognizing, however, that the current 5 permanent members are just that, permanent and unalterable, WFM-IGP underscores that reform of the Council must not extend this irrationality of representation into the future structure of the international legal order, risking a continuous alteration of the Council’s ability to maintain international peace and security.
		Accordingly, the Secretary-General and the General Assembly should ensure the establishment of a substantive follow-up process on issues that due to their immanent complexities cannot be expected to be completed by September 2005.
