India is bracing for upheaval as it storms ahead with its most ambitious reform in decades — transforming the world’s fastest growing major economy into a single market for the first time.
Economic problems invariably stem from political shortcomings. Without good politics, you will never have a good economy, and without constitutional reform even if the gods will be helpless to jazz up economic performance. The only way forward is comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and a committee-style legislature with committee chairs tapped to serve as backup cabinet ministers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
In less than a year, a camp in northern Uganda has taken in more refugees than any other in the world, and all of them from war-torn South Sudan.
South Sudan can resolve its controversial government structure by chucking the current system for a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, like the one in Finland, plus a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent world peace is global democratization. South Sudan should proceed with drafting a basic constitution as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy, adhering to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and revising it as needed to stay in sync with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Citing attacks against aid workers in Syria, the removal of live-saving supplies from convoys and bureaucratic impediments restricting access, the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator has called for ensuring immediate and safe humanitarian access to save lives that are dependent on assistance.
Once a ceasefire takes hold in Syria the UN should provide the basic outline for a constitution that will support permanent peaceful development of the nation. This should include the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, with four government branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial) and features that will bring lasting peace and serve as a model for development for other nations.

One of Vietnam's top bloggers has been jailed for 10 years for distributing propaganda against the state.
Thomas Jefferson once noted, "Given a choice between government and the media, I would choose media, not the government." The media plays the role of monitoring the government, which would completely ignore the law without supervision. The voice of the people is the voice of God, universal values are the values of God, and trying to silence the voice of the people is contrary to the values of freedom and democracy and counter to God’s will. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Venezuela's Supreme Court has banned the Attorney General from leaving the country and frozen all of her assets.
When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the people should exercise their right as holders of sovereignty and take control. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not brook resistance is not a constitution. When a president’s actions are unlawful, the people have the right to resist. Venezuelans should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. The president should be limited to one 5-year term with no eligibility to run again for 6 years afterwards. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
