WORLD FEDERATION

"It is quite clear that as long as the nations of the world spend most of their energy, money, and emotional strength in quarreling with words and weapons, a true offensive against the common problems that threaten human survival is not very likely. A world government that can channel human efforts in the direction of the great solutions seems desirable, even essential. Naturally, such a world government should be a federal one, with regional and local autonomy safeguarded and with cultural diversity promoted."
-- Isaac Asimov

* The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it.
-- Roger Nash Baldwin

if globalization is to realise its potential as a force for good, we have to look more closely at the means by which we handle our growing interdependence. We do not have a world government, but we do have an increasingly complex network of institutions that are concerned with global governance. They are central to our future and international human rights law,
-- Gro Brundtland


"Unless some effective world supergovernment for the purpose of preventing war can be set up ... the prospects for peace and human progress are dark ....If .... it is found possible to build a world organization of irresistible force and inviolable authority for the purpose of securing peace, there are no limits to the blessings which all men enjoy and share."
--Winston Churchill

"Unless we establish some form of world government, it will not be possible for us to avert a World War III in the future."
--Winston Churchill

 

* "Those advocates who work for world peace by urging a system of world government are called impractical dreamers. Those impractical dreamers are entitled to ask their critics what is so practical about war."
-- Walter Cronkite

* "World federation is an ideal that will not die. More and more people are coming to realize that peace must be more than an interlude if we are to survive; that peace is a produce of law and order; that law is essential if the force of arms is not to rule the world."
-- Justice William O. Douglas

 

"Universal evil rules our world when we have no universal laws to STOP countries and corporations from committing unlimited or unregulated violations against life."
-- Kevin Edds

 

* "only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community." -- Albert Einstein

"A world government with powers adequate to guarantee security is not a remote ideal for the distant future. It is an urgent necessity if our civilization is to survive." -- Albert Einstein

"There is no salvation for civilization, or even the human race, other than the creation of a world government." -- Albert Einstein

"Mankind's desire for peace can be realized only by the creation of a world government. With all my heart I believe that the world's present system of sovereign nations can only lead to barbarism, war and inhumanity, and that only world law can assure progress towards a civilized peaceful community."
-- Albert Einstein

 

* "The world no longer has a choice between force and law; if civilization is to survive, it must choose the rule of law."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

"... we have been warned by the power of modern weapons, that peace may be the only climate possible for human life itself ... There must be law, steadily invoked and respected by all nations, for without law, the world promises only such meager justice as the pity of the strong upon the weak."
-- Dwight D. Eisenhower

"There is an increasing awareness of the need for some form of global government."
-- Mikhail Gorbachev

I am firmly convinced that in the world of today all nations will be forced to the conclusion that cooperation for law, justice, and peace is the only alternative to a constant race in armaments--including atomic armaments--and to other disruptive practices that will bring the nations participating in them on either side to a common ruin, the equivalent of universal suicide.
-- Cordell Hull

* There is so much each one of us can do to make a difference. We are at a dangerous juncture in the history of mankind. … We need to defend our principles and values, human rights, civil liberties and the rule of international law. If we don’t our world will further descend into a state of chaos.
-- Bianca Jagger

* "We must create world-wide law and law enforcement as we outlaw world-wide war and weapons"
-- John F. Kennedy

"Never have nations of the world had so much to lose or so much to gain. Together we shall save our Planet or together we shall perish in flames." -- John F. Kennedy

* “We want harmonious development, ... We should work together for more democratic and law-based international relations, and a harmonious environment in which countries respect one another, treat one another as equals, and different cultures can emulate and interchange with each other.”
-- Li Zhaoxing

"The absolute necessity to create a proper Earth government' -- we should inscribe this as the priority item on the agenda of world affairs."
-- Robert Muller

"If heads of states fail to seize the opportunity of our entry into the third millennium to provide for a better government of planet Earth, history will not forgive them -- if there is a history."
-- Robert Muller

 

"I have long believed that the only way peace can be achieved is through world government."
-- Jawaharlal Nehru

 

However difficult it may be to bring it about, some form of world government, with agreed international law and means of enforcing the law, is inevitable.
-- John B. Orr

The international community should support a system of laws to regularize international relations and maintain the peace in the same manner that law governs national order."
-- Pope John Paul II

We are privileged to have the opportunity of contributing to the achievement of the goal of the abolition of war and its replacement by world law. I am confident that we shall succeed in this great task; that the world community will thereby be freed not only from the suffering caused by war but also through the better use of the earth's resources, of the discoveries of scientists, and of the efforts of mankind, from hunger, disease, illiteracy, and fear; and that we shall in the course of time be enabled to build a world characterized by economic, political, and social justice for all human beings and a culture worthy of man's intelligence.
-- Linus Pauling

"Science has made unrestricted national sovereignty incompatible with human survival. The only possibilities are now world government or death."
-- Bertrand Russell

"Till the war-drum throbb'd no longer,
and the battle-flags were furl'd
In the Parliament of man,
the Federation of the world."
-- Alfred Lord Tennyson

"World federalists hold before us the vision of a unified mankind living in peace under a just world order. The heart of their program - a world under law - is realistic and attainable."
~ U Thant

World Government is not only possible, it is inevitable; and when it comes, it will appeal to patriotism in its truest sense,in its only sense, the patriotism of humans who love their national heritages so deeply that they wish to preserve them in safety for the common good.
-- Peter Ustinov

 

"It is obvious that no difficulty in the way of world government can match the danger of a world without it."
--Carl Van Doren

"Continued anarchy among nations in the atomic age threatens our civilization and humanity itself with annihilation ... The only ultimate alternative to war is the abandonment of the principle of the coercion of sovereigns by sovereigns and the adoption of the principle of the just enforcement upon individuals of world federal law, enacted by a world federal legislature with limited but adequate powers to safeguard the common defense and the general welfare of all mankind ... Such a structure of peace through government can be evolved by making the United Nations an effective agency ... Beyond an effective United Nations lies the further possibility of genuine world government."
-- Henry A. Wallace, 33rd US Vice President

 

"A federation of all humanity, together with a sufficient measure of social justice, to ensure health, education, and a rough equality of opportunity to most of the children born into the world, would mean such a release and increase of human energy as to open a new phase in human history."
-- H.G. Wells

"Let us get together with other people of our sort and make over the world into a great world-civilization that will enable us to realize the promises and avoid the dangers of this new time."
-- H.G. Wells
