The International of Anarchist Federations (IAF/IFA) ((フランス語:Internationale des Fédérations Anarchistes), 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. Other groups were also present in the formation of the IAF, such as the now defunct ''London Federation of Anarchists'' who took part in the preparation for the conference in 1968.〔(London Federation of Anarchists involvement in Carrara conference, 1968 ) International Institute of Social History, Accessed 19 Jan 2010〕 According to ''Time'' magazine, before the first IAF conference in Carrara could begin, firemen were called to check the venue for bombs.〔("Anarchism: Revolutionaries in Suspenders" ) Time Magazine, 13 Sep 1968, Accessed 19 Jan 2010〕 The Carrara congress was a response to a congress held in London from June to August 1958 which "recreated a certain dynamism and wish towards the organisational aspiration of international anarchism".〔(Short history of the IAF-IFA ) A-infos news project, Accessed 19 Jan 2010〕 The IAF has since aimed to build and improve strong and active international anarchist structures. The federations associated with IAF believe that such an organisation is necessary to co-ordinate their international work and efficiently co-operate towards their mutual aims. In order to further improve the quality of exchange and co-operation, IAF also keeps close contact with other anarchist organisations, such as the International Workers Association (IWA), an international association of anarcho-syndicalist organisations and unions. The IAF contains a large number of anarchist-communist federations and individuals.〔(Leaflet: Anarchist Communism - an introduction ) Zabalaza Anarchist Communist Front, Accessed 19 Jan 2010〕 ==Principles== The principles of work within IFA are that of federalism, free arrangement and Mutual Aid, and as states in their preamble of their principles, the IAF fights for: ::: ''1) the abolition of all forms of authority whether economic, political, social, religious, cultural or sexual. '' ::: ''2) the construction of a free society, without classes or States or frontiers, founded on anarchist federalism and mutual aid.''〔(Report from the then IAF secretariat ) A-infos news project, Accessed 19 Jan 2010〕 The IAF is committed to Direct Action, struggle from below, anti-parliamentarism, and opposition to reformism, on both a theoretical and a practical level. To improve co-ordination and communication within IAF, as well as to provide an open contact address for the public and other anarchist groups and organisations, an International Secretariat (the Commission of Relations of the International of Anarchist Federations - referred to commonly as C.R.I.F.A.) was set up. The CRIFA irregularly rotates among the IAF federations. It is currently based with the Fédération Anarchiste (France). Often, the different member federations will work with one another on certain agreed issues and campaigns, in order to be able to mount a joint worldwide effort to raise awareness and assist the struggle around certain issues. The different member federations also produce their own publications, such as ''Le Monde libertaire'' in France and Belgium, and ''El Libertario'' in Argentina. However, there was also an IAF magazine, ''Anarkiista Debato'' which, due, however, to a lack of funds, was unable to continue. A number of reports have been written for the IAF, particularly on issues such as the struggle between the village of Rossport, the Corrib gas field and Shell in 2007.〔("The struggle against Shell in the west of Ireland" ), Infoshop News, 18 September 2007. Accessed 12 October 2009.〕 Members of the IAF often congregate at meetings of world leaders, such as Gleneagles in 2005.〔("Anarchists put chaos on agenda for summit" ), Edinburgh Evening News, The Scotsman, 10 Mar 2005.
