St. Moritz meeting

(special Global Affairs luncheon with Ambassadors & Representatives of various countries)

St. Moritz meeting

With the attendance of the 20 ambassadors and deputies representing 63 countries at the luncheon held in St. Moritz Hotel, New York on November 19, 1988, an important breakthrough was made in our work to achieve the acceptance of a Constitution for World Government. This was the first time in the history of the movement for World Government that a group of official representatives of national governments have assembled specifically to hear the presentation of plans for a World Constituent Assembly for World Government, and to receive the Constitution for the Federation of Earth. Presentations were given by Philip lsely, Terence P. Amerasinghe, Dr. Rashmi Mayur, Reinhart Ruge, and strong message from Dr. Linus Pauling, during the luncheon.

This special Global Affairs luncheon was part of the First Preparatory Meeting for the Fourth World Constituent Assembly, held in New York from November 19 to November 20, 1988.
