A publication of the World Federalist Movement – Canada and Citizens for Global Solutions.
The fall 2026 issue of Mondial marks the United Nations' 80th anniversary by examining the gap between the scale of today's problems and the reach of global institutions. As nuclear risk, climate breakdown, mass displacement and unaccountable capital outpace the international system, this edition turns from diagnosis toward practical solutions for a divided world.
The issue opens with reflections on what the UN has made possible over eight decades and the reforms it needs to endure. Contributors trace how public pressure has pulled the world back from nuclear catastrophe before and could do so again, while a veteran Canadian diplomat offers a spare dissent against the logic of nuclear weapons. Two essays confront the Security Council veto, including a call for Canada to honour its own treaty obligations before it can credibly help curb that power.
World federalists propose paths forward: citizens ratifying treaties directly, a coordinated response to Earth system risks, a federal alternative in Israel and Palestine, world citizenship to end statelessness and monetary sovereignty for developing nations. It closes with reviews of books by Lloyd Axworthy and S.M. Sharei. Together, these contributions reaffirm Mondial's role as a forum for dialogue, reflection and action toward a more just world.
