The presidential system in many nations is tantamount to dictatorship. The greater the amount of power held by the president, the more likely the nations is to suffer. Turkey needs constitutional reform to limit the president to one 5-year term with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards and no eligibility for close relatives. The President of Turkey is in violation of Article 6 of the Turkish Constitution, which states that sovereignty belongs wholly and unconditionally to the people, and no state or sovereign has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers.

The aim is to help Syria to develop in an atmosphere of long-lasting peace.. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Article 39 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law states that the right to self-determination is guaranteed by the two international human rights conventions.

The Swiss threshold for holding referendums is 50,000 signatures, and with that citizens can voice their opinions at the ballot box rather than in the streets. The people have the right to vote in referendums on any public issue. Otherwise when dictatorship becomes a reality, they will be obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
