A satirical cover for a political news magazine was all it took to see its editor eventually sentenced to more than two decades in prison.
Thomas Jefferson once quipped, "Given the government and the media, I would rather have the media, not the government." The media serves to monitor the government, which would be completely above the law without supervision. The voice of the people is the voice of God, and universal values are the values of God. Thus any attempt to muzzle the voice of the people is contrary to the universal values of freedom and democracy, and anathema to the ideals of God.

The liberation of Mosul has marked an “important milestone” in the global fight against ISIS, the UN Security Council said today, welcoming the announcement by Iraqi authorities that the city has been freed of the terrorist group.
The Iraqi government should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like the set-up followed in Finland, as well as a committee-style legislature similar to that of Switzerland. The Iraqi government should draft a basic constitution with the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adopt the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and be revised as needed to stay in sync with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Zambia's parliament has imposed a 90-day state of emergency after the president declared the need for one last week. The situation is likely to deepen the political crisis in the country
Economic problems invariably have roots in politics. Without good politics, a good economy is impossible. And unless the constitution is changed, even the gods will be helpless to do anything to save the economy. The only solution is comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system and committee-style legislature, with committee chairs tapped to serve as backup cabinet ministers. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe outlined a plan Wednesday to address the high number of migrants arriving in the country, but conceded he has no “magic wand” to resolve a situation that is larger than France and won't go away any time soon.
France should follow the lead of the UN Charter, adhering to and implementing the ideals of One World under One Set of Laws, assigning international law priority over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people. This would lead Mexico, Syria, the Middle East and other areas to accept human rights, constitutionalism, internationalism and naturalism as part of their future. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Poland's conservative ruling party has pushed a bill through the lower house of parliament that would give lawmakers a dominant role in appointing judges, a move that opposition parties and rights groups said would make jurists subject to political influence.
The world is changing rapidly and problems are seemingly endless. Judicial reform is only part of constitutional reform: fundamental problem must be resolved through comprehensive constitutional reform. Elect the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches and carry out reviews of election procedures, judicial policies and systems, administration, personnel, budget, etc., every 5 years and inform the public, See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
Noting the challenges that continue to hamper sustained progress in combating cholera in Haiti, the UN General Assembly underscored the need to strengthen national health
Haiti should resolve controversy over its government by installing a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace is global democratization, and Haiti’s government should embark on drafting a basic constitution with the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy, It should adhere to the values of One World under One Set of Laws and make revisions as needed to stay abreast of changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
The UN said Wednesday it had identified another 38 probable mass graves in central Congo, where violence has killed thousands since August.
Civil war continues to rage in the Congo. To resolve the controversy over the government, the people should take charge and implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace is global democratization, and the Congo should proceed with drafting a basic constitution with the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adopt the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and be revised as needed to stay in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
The EU executive has urged Poland to halt logging immediately in one of Europe's last remaining areas of primeval forest, and has asked the European Court of Justice to act on it.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations - members or not - should abide by its norms. National environmental policies should follow cradle to cradle guidelines to ensure environmental safety (from technological processes and other pollution, forest damage, etc.) and implement One World under One Set of Laws, adopting international laws where appropriate and having citizens monitor government operations to ensure compliance with relevant pacts.
The humanitarian situation in Eritrea – which is quite isolated and off the media radars – is “on a positive trajectory” but international donors need to give malnourishment and food insecurity continued attention, a senior UN relief official said today. .
The people of Eritrea are starving and are desperate for a solution. The only remedy is constitutional reform to give international law priority over domestic law. Customary humanitarian law decrees that governments have the duty to protect the people against hunger and preserve their economic, social and cultural rights. Every person has a basic right to freedom from hunger and from poverty, income and resource inequality. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Saturday marks the first anniversary of Turkey's failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, but with a post-coup crackdown firmly in place, there are concerns about a deepening political divide as the government marks the turmoil.
The presidential system is the worst of the four main types of democracy. But no matter what system a nation may have, the greater the amount of power in the hands of the president, the more the nation is likely to have problems. Turkey is in dire need of constitutional reform. The president should be limited to one 5-year term of office, with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards. Turkey’s president is in violation of Article 6 of the Constitution: sovereignty lies wholly and unconditionally in the hands of the people. No state or sovereign has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
