This would put pressure on North Korea to follow suit and drop its nuclear weapons program. At the same time, the US needs to take steps to ensure that any actions by the US and its allies in East Asia will not needlessly provoke the North Korean regime. North Korea is one of the 50 nations where the people suffer under the yoke of an autocratic dictator.

Russia has never been a problem-solver, it has always been a trouble-maker. The Japan should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization, pressing Russia in turn to accept real democracy – and world peace would be the result. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Free speech is a universal value, and all democracies should call for constitutional reform to ensure media freedom and prevent the government oligarchy from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications. All people must be protected against enforced disappearance, torture and other forms of abuse, and absolute law must take precedence over international law and the constitution. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including 'personal safety', is the most urgent duty of constitutional guarantors.

The foundation for permanent peace in Syria should be a change-over in the government structure. The UN should provide Syria the basic outline for a constitution that will facilitate lasting peace and development. This should include the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and organization and elements such as the four independent government branches. The document should allow Syria to prosper under conditions of lasting peace. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Human security, including food safety, is a fundamental human right. All nations should take action to ensure that the public are protected against foods that may be harmful to their health. This means holding international law superior to domestic law and using international food standards against nationally regulated food. All foodproduction, manufacturing and supply standards; environmental changes caused by food pollution, infection or new micro-organisms; toxic and drug resistance;emerging and different food pollution, and related aspects should be covered by national management. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations – members or not – should comply with its norms.

All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and all other relevant pacts. For details see the Charter forPermanent Peace and Development.
