The International of Anarchist Federations (IAF) is an international anarchist organization founded by the Carrara Congress (1968). It is based on the principle of anarchist synthesis, which means it seeks to unite all tendencies of anarchism within the same organization. It is subdivided into anarchist federations at the national, regional, or local level, which in turn participate in the International.
The IAF organizes congresses every four years which serve as a gathering and a place of expression for the anarchist movement. It is one of the principal anarchist organizations at the beginning of the 21st century.
