The One World Trust formed in the wake of WW2, with the participation of Winston Churchill and Clement Attlee.

And - per their own website - their objective is to promote Global Governance.

But coverage of the trust itself is to come; this article seeks to cover a single document of theirs only; their ‘Charter 99’2, released in 1999.

To state that three are an ode to global governance would be no exaggeration. It describes out current predicament as already being in a somewhat state of global governance, as vast concentration of power in few hands has gathered with limited oversight. And though this does admittedly carry a grain of truth, the solution suggested here is impose a top-down oversight committee with legal jurisdiction at the… you got it… United Nations.
