  ABSTRACT: The resurgence of authoritarianism and erosion of democratic principles and institutions is leading to a growing political polarization, where constructive dialogue and cooperation have become almost impossible. Bodies like the United Nations and the European Community that regulated by intergovernmental treaties and with a lack of democratic control, are no longer able to offer lasting peace and prosperity, and the capacity to counteract environmental threats. It is time to put an end to this global situation before it is too late for young and future generations and for planet Earth. This must be driven by major political changes based on international cooperation. It is crucial that we act collectively through a cohesive global strategy to defend and renew democracy around the world, and the necessity for a federal statehood in Europe and globally, to ensure freedom, peace, justice and human dignity, and the preservation of the natural environment.
