WELCOME TO THE
ASSOCIATION OF WORLD CITIZENS

Join in the worldwide movement to create a Global Community for the 21st century that is free from war and weapons of mass destruction; where disputes between nations and peoples are settled through the framework of world law, and where policy and resources are directed to human needs and securing a healthy and sustainable environment for present and future generations.

"Only with a burning patience can we conquer the splendid City which will give light, justice, and dignity to all mankind"- Rimbaud




It is my pleasure of announce that Mr. Rene Waldow has accepted the position of Senior Vice President of the Association of World Citizens (AWC). Rene has been a great asset to AWC from the beginning. He has done an outstanding job of representing AWC at the United Nations in Geneva for many years. His articles on various issues relating to world peace, disarmament, human rights, and the United Nations have been both educational and inspiring. As we are revising the AWC website, Rene will have a special page for immediate publication of his articles and activities. I am sure that with Rene as the Senior Vice President, AWC will be stronger in contributing to the case of world peace and justice.
