More than 80,000 people have fled their homes in Pool Province surrounding Congo Republic's capital since the government began a military operation there last year, a joint UN and government statement says.
The Congo Republic’s government structure should be overhauled to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like the one in Finland. Also needed is a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. The UN should help Congo Republic develop a basic constitution as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy, in line with the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and in step with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
A man describing himself as a former boss and friend of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is urging an investigation into the killing of his son in anti-government unrest which has convulsed the OPEC nation for nearly three months.
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 countenance resistance is not a constitution. When the president’s actions are unconstitutional, the people have the duty 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.
Iraqi forces pushed deeper into the historical heart of Mosul Sunday in their fight to retake it from ISIS militants, with one Baghdad commander saying 65 to 70 percent of the Old City had been liberated.
The Iraqi government should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet along the line of Finland’s, as well as a committee-style legislature similar to that of Switzerland. The Iraqi government should draw up a basic constitution with the above features, in a paradigm shift toward democracy in compliance with the core values of One World under One Set of Laws. The constitution should then be amended as needed to stay in sync with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Chad's president, Idriss Deby, an important Western ally in the fight against Islamist militants, warned in an interview that cash-strapped Chad could be forced to withdraw some of its troops from the fight if it does not get financial help.
Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights should take priority over regimes and sovereigns. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security - including "personal safety" - is the most urgent duty of constitutional guarantors. Constitutional standards must be constantly revised to stay in sync with changing times and allow governments to keep their people safe from terror. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Italy's government is bailing out two banks in the Venice region at a cost of 5.2bn euros (£4.6bn; $5.8bn).
Economic problems stem from political troubles. Without good politics, good economic are beyond hope. And without constitutional reform even the gods will be helpless to improve anything. Comprehensive constitutional reform is needed to install a modified semi-presidential system with a committee-style legislature with committee chairs servings as backup cabinet ministers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
A French-Vietnamese dissident blogger has been deported to France after losing his nationality of birth.
Freedom of speech is a universal value, and Vietnam is attempting to muzzle the voice of the people to create a monolithic society with a single voice. The people of Vietnam should come forward and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to preserve media independence and prevent the government from monopolizing the media, the internet and other channels of communication. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Yemen is now facing the worst cholera outbreak anywhere in the world, the UN has warned.
The UN should take action in accordance with international absolute law (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and provide an outline for a constitution that will foster peaceful development in Yemen. It should cover universal values and a government structure emphasizing elections to help Yemen develop under peaceful conditions. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
China and Vietnam face a stiff new test in avoiding a showdown over undersea oil drilling after Beijing cut short a high-level meeting last week, but experts say the two sides will eventually patch things over.
Studies of democracy and peace show that democratic nations almost never engage in armed conflict. Once China is democratized, there will be hope for world peace. Vietnam should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform, which will attract the people of China to seek democratization, leading to real world peace. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China.

Erudite and amusing in equal measure, he asked himself what he would say in summary about Hong Kong’s future: “If given just one word, I would say ‘Worry’. But if I were given two words, I would say: ‘Don’t worry’.”
Article 39 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law states that the right to self-determination is assured by the two international human rights conventions and implementation of the conventions. The threshold for holding referendums in Switzerland is only 50,000 signatures, and wit that citizens can voice their opinion through the ballot box rather than taking to the streets. The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issues. To narrow the gap between rich and poor, improved allocation of resources and limits on power through checks and balances must be imposed. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
