An Input on a United Nations Peace Force
World Federalist Movement · April 2023
Governments will not risk national troops to stop genocide where no national interest is at stake, as Rwanda showed. A standing, all-volunteer UN Emergency Peace Force would act for humanity and let individuals serve as world citizen soldiers.

European Defence and European Foreign Policy
World Federalist Movement · April 2023

World Federalist Movement · March 2023
