“It was founded in 1946, shortly after World War II, with the belief that a peaceful and prosperous Europe could only be a federal Europe based on the rule of law only a European Federation, based on the ideal of unity in diversity. Only a European Federation could overcome the persistent division of the European continent that had caused the suffering and destruction in so many wars and, particularly, of the two World Wars. Federalists believed that only a common effort of European citizens working towards this goal could create a peaceful and democratic European Federation guaranteeing freedom and the protection of human rights.”
