Promoting a better world through transforming the United Nations and other institutions of global governance. The Workable World Trust Mission Statement: The Workable World Trust seeks to devise, promote and disseminate ideas conducive to the establishment of a “workable world,” a world in which: the rule of democratically established, binding law supplants the law of force; people, not states or monarchs, are recognized as the ultimate source of sovereignty; global problems lead to ecologically and economically sustainable global solutions; the good of the planet takes precedence over the good of individual nations; fundamental human rights are sacrosanct; despite inevitable imperfections in the system of governance, systemic flexibility will provide reason to hope for continuous progress and human betterment.
