World government doesn't mean world peace. Wars and locking people up are all part of legitimate government.

A government by definition has a monopoly on state violence. If constituent members are going to war against each other then the so-called global government is not actually a government, it's more of a voluntary association similar to the UN that doesn't actually have much real power.
