In 1968, Costa Rica made a significant contribution to global governance by signing an agreement to convene a World Constituent Assembly. This historic event marked the first time in human history that a convention was organized to draft and adopt a constitution for a global federation. The agreement was signed by Francisco Orlich Bolmarcich, who was the president of Costa Rica at the time, along with two former presidents, José Figueres Ferrer and Otilio Ulate Blanco. The assembly aimed to create a Constitution for the Federation of Earth, reflecting a vision for a more unified and cooperative international community. This initiative underscored Costa Rica's commitment to peace, democracy, and international collaboration, values that have long been central to its national identity. The convening of the World Constituent Assembly was a pivotal moment in the pursuit of global governance and remains a notable chapter in the history of international law and relations. #mooflife #mof #MomentOfLife #WorldConstituentAssembly #CostaRica #GlobalGovernance #FederationOfEarth #InternationalCollaboration
