Our Mission
About the Streit Council
Since 1939, working toward an international order of, by, and for the people — promoting democratic world federation through research, education, and advocacy.
Our Principles
Core Principles
The Streit Council is guided by principles that reflect our commitment to democratic governance, individual liberty, and international cooperation.
Democratic Governance
Democratic governance must extend beyond national borders. The challenges of our time — from climate change to economic instability — demand institutions accountable to the people they serve.
Federal Unity
Federal principles offer the most promising framework for uniting sovereign democracies while preserving their autonomy and cultural identity.
Individual Rights
Any qualitative step toward a more just and peaceful world order must be centered on the individual — their rights, their dignity, and their capacity for self-governance.
Transatlantic Partnership
The Atlantic democracies share a common heritage of liberty and constitutional government that provides the natural nucleus for a broader democratic union.
Education & Advocacy
Advancing the cause of democratic world federation requires sustained intellectual effort — through research, publication, and the cultivation of new generations of scholars and advocates.
