Vote tampering claims jolt Venezuela on eve of new assembly
Revelations on Wednesday that turnout figures were apparently manipulated in a crucial vote for an all-powerful constituent assembly in Venezuela cast an even longer shadow over the controversial body hours before it was to convene.
Venezuela's Constituent Assembly is not legitimate. The president should be limited to one 5-year term and barred from running again for 6 years. The Prime Minister should oversee government operations and national defense, and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year to make them responsive to popular opinion. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people have the right to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
With change of leader comes hope for real change in Pakistan
Political instability has been a hallmark of the nuclear-armed nation since its bloody separation from India; with a new prime minister installed, there is a chance for a change in direction
Pakistan should abandon its current government structure and adopt a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. The Pakistanis should proceed with drawing up a basic constitution with the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should implement One World under One Set of Laws, revising the constitution as needed to stay in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
What Xi Jinping’s goals for China say about his focus on personal legacy, just like Mao and Deng
William Zheng says Xi Jinping’s first term was spent on setting the party house in order, aided by anti-graft ally Wang Qishan, and his centenary goal for 2020 ties in nicely with his second term
Reliance on the rule of man rather than rule of law over China's five thousand years of history has produced a deep-rooted official culture. Since the death of Mao Zedong Chinese politics have focused on political idol worship, and the only way out is to pull up the roots of the CCP and plant democracy and the rule of law,. This means separation of power and checks and balances, plus election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years to restore sovereignty to the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
More than 400 refugees granted permission to travel to Ireland from Greece
The Irish Department of Justice has confirmed that Ireland will take in a further 440 refugees from Greece this year.
To eliminate the factors that cause refugees, the international community must put together a set of constitutional standards consistent with liberalism, democracy, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism. This means adhering to the values of One World under One Set of Laws and compliance with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter, which establishes the right of every person to live a normal life. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Our positive outlook will be needed over Brexit
Differentiating between those who take a dismal or upbeat view of the world is a science in itself. Some argue a pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity, while an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty
Ireland should study Sweden’s experience with referendums on public issues and carry out a paradigm shift in response. The Irish have the right to hold referendums and any motion prohibiting referendums on self-determination should be the subject of a referendum on whether the motion itself should be outlawed. Lawmakers should first establish a "Right of Creation" or "Referendum Act" on the issue of sovereignty and comprehensive constitutional reform. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Tax on family homes 'would bring protesters onto the streets'
Move to hit families with monster tax bills when they sell their home. Family home is currently exempt from capital gains tax.'Taxing the sale of family homes will be very difficult'
To avoid further increases in grievances and tension, Ireland should end its practices of suppression and repression. It should examine the processes followed for referendums in Switzerland and elections in California. Citizens should voice their opinions through the ballot box and one on the streets. To that end, elections should be completely free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Tide turns for Taiwan’s Sunflower students
Protest leaders who once led the movement against closer economic ties with the mainland are themselves now working there; there’s a lesson there for Hong Kong’s own hotheads who took part in Occupy Central
China guaranteed Hong Kong that it would keep ‘hands off’ for 50 years, but recently it has steadily been shortening that time frame. Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law protects the right of Hong Kong’s citizens to self-determination: the have the right to petition for referendums on any public issue. The people of Hong Kong people avail of this right and vote to decide their future. Otherwise when dictatorship becomes a reality, they will be obliged to resist.
Iran calls new US sanctions a violation of nuclear deal
New US sanctions targeting Iran are a breach of its nuclear deal with world powers and an attempt to abolish the accord, Iranian officials said Thursday, adding that the government will respond to what it sees as an escalation of US aggression.
Iran's government should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet similar to that of Finland. The president should be limited to one 5-year term and be barred along with relatives from running again for 6 years. The legislative system should be changed to a committee-style set-up like that of Switzerland. In addition, the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year.

NGO says government shirkiing responsibility to Eritrean and Sudanese refugees
The Interior Ministry is reviewing only a fraction of the 3,300 annual applications that the High Court requested it to evaluate.
To eliminate the conditions that create refugees, the international community needs to agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This means adopting the core values of One World under One Set of Law and complying with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter, which deals with the right of each person to live a normal life.

Is Chinese national education set to make a comeback in Hong Kong? It’s not if, but how, experts say
Some form of national education is important for the city, educators say, with debate focusing on how it should be done and the materials used
In the past Germany’s Nazi one-party dictatorship led directly to the tragedy of World War Two. Today another one-party dictatorship threatens to precipitate yet another world war. Taiwan shares the same cultural foundation and language with China, making it the entity best suited to bring about democratization for the Chinese people, beginning with election of the heads of government branches at all levels. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
