Lloyd Axworthy Elected International President of the World Federalist Movement

Honorary Board / Lloyd Axworthy, Canada

Lloyd Axworthy, former Canadian Foreign Minister (1996-2000), has been elected International President of the World Federalist Movement – Institute for Global Policy (WFM). Headquartered in New York, the WFM is an international non-governmental organization (NGO) that has consultative status with the United Nations. Axworthy succeeds another Canadian, former Senator Lois Wilson, who had replaced the actor and humanitarian Sir Peter Ustinov upon his death in 2004.

The World Federalist Movement was created in 1947 by those concerned that the structure of the new United Nations was too similar to the League of Nations which had failed to prevent World War II. Both organizations are loosely structured as associations of sovereign nation-states, with few autonomous powers.
