The '''International of Anarchist Federations''' (IAF or IFA) was founded during an international [[anarchist]] conference in [[Carrara]] in 1968 by the three existing European federations of [[France]], [[Italy]] and [[Spain]] as well as the [[Bulgaria]]n federation in French exile. To counter the internationalisation of state and [[capitalism|capitalist]] powers that are developing their influences ever rapidly on a global scale, the IFA has since aimed to build and improve strong and active international anarchist structures.

The International of Anarchist Federations (IAF or IFA) was founded during an international anarchist conference in Carrara in 1968 by the three existing European federations of France, Italy and Spain as well as the Bulgarian federation in French exile. To counter the internationalisation of state and capitalist powers that are developing their influences ever rapidly on a global scale, the IFA has since aimed to build and improve strong and active international anarchist structures.

The federations associated with IFA believe that such an organisation is necessary to co-ordinate their international work and efficiently co-operate towards their mutual aims.

To further improve the quality of exchange and co-operation, IFA also keeps close contact with other anarchist organisations, such as the IWA (International Workers Association, an international association of anarcho-syndicalist organisations).

The principles of work within IFA are that of federalism, free arrangement and mutual aid. To improve co-ordination and communication within IFA, as well as to provide an open contact address for the public and other anarchist groups and organisations, an International Secretariat (C.R.I.F.A. - Commission of Relations of the International of Anarchist Federations) was set up. CRIFA irregularly rotates among the IFA federations. It is currently based with the Anarchist Federation in the UK. The Federazione Anarchica Italiana (FAI) publishes an anarchist newspaper called "Umanità Nova". Most other federations also produce regular publications such as the "Le Monde Libertaire" in France, "Tierra y Libertad" in Spain, "Organise!" and "Resistance" in the UK and "A-kontra" in Czech.

NB! This page only covers the Southern IFA-IAF-federations of IFA-IAF. There exists also a Northern section. The affiliation to IFA-IAF of the Northern sections, and the Nordic IFA-IAF secretariate, is confirmed in the Southern IFA-IAF organs Bulletin CRIFA and Le Monde Libertaire:
