Senegal signs agreement for World Constituent Assembly

In 1968, Senegal 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 collective effort was made to draft and adopt a constitution for a global federation. The initiative aimed to establish a framework for international cooperation and governance, reflecting the aspirations of nations to work together for peace and unity. Léopold Sédar Senghor, the then president of Senegal, played a pivotal role in this endeavor by endorsing the agreement. His leadership and vision for a united world were instrumental in bringing together representatives from various countries to discuss and formulate a constitution that would govern the Federation of Earth. This assembly not only symbolized a commitment to global citizenship but also set a precedent for future international collaborations aimed at addressing global challenges. The legacy of this assembly continues to inspire movements advocating for a more integrated and cooperative world order.
