Formerly called
World Anti-Communist League
The World League for Freedom and Democracy (WLFD) is an international non-governmental organization of anti-communist politicians and groups. It was founded in 1952 as the World Anti-Communist League (WACL) under the initiative of Chiang Kai-shek, leader of the Republic of China (First on Mainland China, after 1949 on Taiwan) and retired General Charles A. Willoughby that united mostly right-wing authoritarian people and organizations, and acted with the support of the right-wing authoritarian regimes of East Asia and Latin America. During the Cold War, WACL actively participated in anti-communist and anti-Soviet positions.[citation needed]
In 1990, the organization changed to its current name, but has preserved its traditions and former ties.[citation needed] It unites representatives from more than 100 countries and has eight regional divisions. It has its headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan.[citation needed]
