One World Trust

The One World Trust is a London based non-profit that, according to its website, "is a non-profit organisation that lobbies decision-makers to develop global rules and organisations to achieve the eradication of poverty, injustice and war. It conducts research on practical ways to make global organisations more responsive to the people they affect and on how the rule of law can be applied equally to all. Its guiding vision is a world where all peoples live in peace and security and have equal access to opportunity and participation."
