The World Federalists Association hires an attorney to pursue a class action against Ugandan dictator Idi Amin, seeking economic sanctions and global court action.

The group, once influential, now faces financial trouble and limited media attention, yet maintains a base in Amsterdam with chapters in 40 countries.
