The Commission on Global Governance was an organization co-chaired by Swedish Prime Minister Ingvar Carlson and Shridath Ramphal of Guyana that produced a controversial report, Our Global Neighborhood, in 1994. The report was attacked by pro-sovereignty groups for calling for United Nations reforms that would increase its power. It also was criticized by world federalists who disliked the terminology of "global governance", which seemed clunkier than "world federalism." The Commission was established in 1992 with the full support of United Nations Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali. Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was a member.
