About
A global “city hall” for world citizens
Part of the World Service Authority, serving world citizens since 1954.
The World Service Authority is a non-profit organisation serving individuals everywhere who seek to build a just world order based on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Our office for Lebanon and the Middle East carries that mission through humanitarian aid, honouring those who serve peace, and building bridges between peoples, faiths and cultures.
What is a World Citizen?
A World Citizen is a human being who lives intellectually, morally and physically in the present. A World Citizen accepts the dynamic fact that the planetary human community is interdependent and whole, that humankind is essentially one.
A World Citizen is a peaceful and peacemaking individual, both in daily life and contacts with others. As a global person, a World Citizen relates directly to humankind and to all fellow humans spontaneously, generously and openly. Mutual trust is basic to his or her lifestyle.
Politically, a World Citizen accepts a sanctioning institution of representative government, expressing the general and individual sovereign will in order to establish and maintain a system of just and equitable world law with appropriate legislative, judiciary and enforcement bodies. A World Citizen makes this world a better place to live in harmoniously by studying and respecting the viewpoints of fellow citizens from anywhere in the world.
The World Service Authority
The World Government of World Citizens has passed beyond being merely an idealistic concept. It has in fact become operational.
Today the World Service Authority (WSA) is a non-profit, global “city hall” for individuals everywhere who are seeking to evolve the World Government or are seeking assistance from it. The WSA is centred in Washington, D.C., with agents throughout the world. A Tokyo office opened in 1989 and is now located in Shanghai to serve world citizens in the Pacific Rim.
To date over 2,500,000 WSA passports, World Government ID cards and birth certificates have been issued, and over 150 countries have recognised the passport on a de facto basis.
Our office in Lebanon & the Middle East
The WSA Universal Human Rights Project for Lebanon and the Middle East is directed by Ambassador Ali Akil Khalil, Secretary-General. He holds a degree in Information and Human Rights from La Haye International University, has training in journalism and human rights, and is a member of several human rights organisations. He has lived in Côte d’Ivoire, Sierra Leone and Lebanon.
