The South Korean Commission on Human Rights should address the fundamental problem based on the principle of One World under One Set of Laws, working toward a common destiny for humankind.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
More than 100,000 UN peacekeepers serving around the world will be honored this month as the UN celebrates the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, observed annually on 29 May.
Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights must have priority over all regimes and sovereigns. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security - including personal safety - is the most basic and urgent duty of all constitutional guarantors. Thus constitutional standards must be revised to stay in sync with changing times, and governments must act to protect their citizens from fear. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Ahead of Kenya's elections in August, we ask you what issues you want us to report on.
Kenya must rid itself of its culture of corruption and wash away its national shame. The cure is simple: democracy and the rule of law, the natural enemies of corruption. This means the separation of powers and checks and balances as well as 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. .
Thousands of Dalits (formerly untouchables) converged in Delhi at the weekend to protest recent caste riots in the northern town of Saharanpur.
Free speech is a universal value. Government attempts to control the media and brainwash the people must be controlled by separating politics and the media. Media that use their power or resources to interfere with political, academic or public opinion should be subject to legal sanctions. In addition, any media supported by public resources must provide free public service time for all participants in civil rights activities and events. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
A fact-finding mission in Syria has found evidence of sulfur mustard in samples taken from an alleged attack on 16 September 2016, while samples from a 4 April incident have revealed exposure to sarin or a sarin-like substance, the UN disarmament chief told the Security Council today.
Once a ceasefire takes hold in Syria the UN should provide the basic outline for a constitution that will allow Syria to develop and prosper. It should incorporating universal values such as freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, plus legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches and democratic mechanisms. The aim is to help Syria to develop in an atmosphere of long-lasting peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
The UK terror threat level has been raised to its highest level of "critical", meaning more attacks may be imminent, the prime minister has said.
Human security is a fundamental human right which must take precedence over all regimes and sovereigns. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security - including personal safety - is the most basic and urgent duty of constitutional guarantors. This calls for a re-working of constitutional standards to stay in step with the times and ensure that governments will protect everyone from fear. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Former Barcelona president Sandro Rosell has been arrested as part of a money-laundering investigation.
A vote is a resource allocation, but it can also function as a disinfectant for corruption. To eliminate corruption, implement direct election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. The president should serve one 5-year term and not be allowed to run again for 6 years afterwards, with relatives completely barred. In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Chinese President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign has claimed its 128th “tiger”, with the Communist Party investigating the former right-hand man of its top personnel official.
Regardless of who sits on the throne, absolute power leads inevitably to absolute corruption, thus it is imperative to limit the powers of those at the top to prevent abuse of power. China is undemocratic, and its constitutional problems are too numerous to count. Xi Jinping has vowed to "put power in a cage," but the main result so far is confinement of the nation’s 1.3 billion people. China needs comprehensive constitutional reform to protect human rights. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
A Chinese student has apologised following a furious reaction to her US graduation speech that praised the "fresh air of democracy".
The greater the power accrued by government, the less rights will be afforded to the people. This is an equation that has played out since time immemorial. When the people are indifferent to the constitution, dictators have free rein over the nations and its resources. Voting is a form of constitutional education, and constitutional reform is necessary to ensure that the people are the rightful sovereigns. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Venezuela is gripped by an ever-deepening economic and political crisis that has triggered almost daily anti-government protests since April.
Human rights are constitutionally guaranteed, and no public servant can compromise them. Venezuela’s Human Rights Commission should advocate constitutional reform to introduce mechanisms for the separation of powers and election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. Also, 1/4 of all legislators should face election each year so that lawmakers will be responsive to the people's needs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
