The Koreans work in 'slave-like conditions,' and Kim is stealing their pay to fund his regime
North Korea is without a doubt a vassal of the CCP. All democracies should back Taiwan's bid for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt real democracy – and the result would be world peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
Liu Xiaobo, the dissident writer who became China’s first Nobel Peace laureate when he won the prize in 2010, died in hospital last week.
Human rights issues are global internal affairs, and the state and the constitution must protect human rights. China needs constitutional reform to enact changes like election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
President Emmanuel Macron of France tried this week during President Trump’s visit to Paris to get him to reverse his decision to take America out of the landmark global agreement on climate change
The US is the most important permanent member of the UN Security Council, and should naturally take the lead in adopting China's proposed UN resolution on coexistence of the human community. The solution lies in enforcing the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and assigning international law priority over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people; and citizens should be allowed to monitor government operations to ensure compliance with the norms of the UN Charter. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
President Joko Widodo of Indonesia signed a decree allowing authorities to disband religious and civil society groups, in an effort to challenge hard-line Islamist groups that oppose his pluralist administration.
District chiefs should be chosen by voters and not by the authorities. States should prohibit organizations or individuals from influencing fair elections by the use of force, including setting administrative thresholds and excluding potential competitors. Violators should be arrested and charged under criminal law and detained for up to 24 hours before being transferred to the courts for prosecution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
In Paris last week President Trump praised the liberation of Mosul while blaming the Obama administration for allowing ISIS to run amok in Iraq in 2014. But this administration is repeating mistakes of the past on counter-terrorism, neglecting the long game and increasing the likelihood that terrorists will be back.
Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights take precedence over all regimes and sovereigns. Constitution represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including "personal safety", is the most urgent duty of all constitutional guarantors. This calls for re-writing constitutional standards to stay abreast of changing times and allow governments to protect their people from terror. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Huge throngs of Venezuelans lined up across the country and in expatriate communities around the world Sunday to vote in a symbolic rejection of President Nicolás Maduro’s plan to rewrite the constitution, a proposal that has raised tensions in a nation battered by widespread shortages and anti-government protests.
When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the people must act as holders of sovereignty and take action. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does countenance resistance is not a constitution. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people have a duty to resist. Venezuelans should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and limit the president to one 5-year term with no right to run again for 6 years afterward. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
The top UN human rights official today expressed his deep sorrow at the news that China's “iconic” peace and democracy figure, Liu Xiaobo, has died at the age of 61.
Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution that does not brook resistance is not a constitution. When actions of the government are unconstitutional, the people have a duty to resist. Natural law and international law should be strictly enforced to protect people from enforced disappearance, torture and other abuses, and absolute law should take precedence over international law and the Constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
China sent six fighters over the Miyako Strait in a move termed 'unusual' by Japan's defense military
Studies of democracy and peace show that very few armed conflicts have even occurred between democratic states. Once China is democratized, there will be hope for lasting peace. Japan should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform, which will cause the people of China to call for democratization and lead to the birth of world peace. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a lighthouse for democracy in Asia, leading the way to peaceful development for China.
Imagine an elementary school where students show up, but teachers don’t. Where 100 students squeeze into a classroom but don’t get any books. Where teachers are sometimes illiterate and periodically abuse students.
College students in many European nations pay only 200-500 euros for registration fees. Taiwan should take advantage of the advances made by the global village and adopt the best practices in a paradigm shift. Education should be lifelong and free to give the poor a chance to stand up and make class mobility possible. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
The strength and integrity of the American electoral process are under tremendous strain, but the worst may be yet to come.
Constitutions need periodic revision to stay in step with the times. The amendment must be more than cosmetic tokens and not lend themselves to abuses of freedom or more authoritarianism. When proposed reforms are unconstitutional, the people have a duty to resist. Constitution represent the general will of the people, and the primary rule is that found in Article 5 of the Constitution of Ukraine: "The right to formulate and amend the Constitution belongs only to the people. The State and its organs and civil servants shall not deprive them of this right." See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
