The San Francisco Promise (SF Promise) is essentially the core project of the Democratic World Federalists organization (DWFED). The project encapsulates our mission to create a peaceful, just, and sustainable world. The common question people ask us is, how do you accomplish such a goal? World Federalists believe the answer to creating such a world requires a democratic global governance system. We do not believe in a “one world government” or authoritarian force—which many will try to claim. We world federalist or neo-federalist philosophy is the only ideology which can oppose the threats toward liberal and free world order.
After World War II, a foundation was set to build up relations between nations. This was all in the hope to unify humanity and allow for peace. The original world leaders who had created the United Nations, NATO, and global economic system didn’t live to see their project come to full fruition. What was once supposed to lead up to a world governing system, led to a world of superpowers driven to divide the world to capture market share and natural resources.
