COALITION SECRETARIAT
The International Secretariat of the Coalition will be hosted by the World Federalist Movement-Institute for Global Policy (WFM-IGP) in New York to facilitate communication and coordination among members, promote information flows and also ensure that the activities of members are advancing the Coalition’s overall goals. The Secretariat will also be responsible for servicing the Coalition and for garnering resources and implementing the goals and purposes of the Coalition. WFM-IGP has now integrated its five year old Responsibility to Protect-Engaging Civil Society (R2PCS) project into the Coalition initiative. More on WFM-IGP's former R2PCS project.
