Coalition for a World Security Community
The Transnational Working Group on a Coalition for a World Security Community (CWSC TWG) operates in field of peace and security. We propose the formation of a World Security Community (WSC) with a global mission, first to guarantee the security and freedom of all its members, and then to act as their peace-building and peacekeeping arm in the wider world, under the aegis of the UN. We aim to follow the strategy pioneered in Europe in forming the European Union: start with a smaller group of members (the democracies), and build up in stages towards an eventual democratic world federation.
