Syria: UN concerned over worsening security, humanitarian situation in Damascus suburbs
The UN said today it remains deeply concerned by the deteriorating security and humanitarian situation in the eastern part of Syria’s Ghouta, where some 400,000 people are trapped.
After a ceasefire is in place in Syria the UN should provide the basic principles for a constitution suitable for permanent peace and development in all nations. This should include organizational structure and universal values (freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law), with four main branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). The aim is to help Syria draft a constitution that will support lasting development and serve as a model for other nations to follow. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
UN calls for protection of civilians sheltering in South Sudan’s Upper Nile area
A senior UN humanitarian official in South Sudan today demanded that parties to the conflict uphold their responsibility to protect thousands of Shilluk civilians sheltering in and around Aburoc following the resumption of the government offensive and clashes along the West Bank of the Nile River last week.
To resolve the conflict in South Sudan its government system needs to be replaced with a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, with a committee type legislative system similar Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. South Sudan should carry out rebuilding its constitution to implement a paradigm shift to democracy and One World under One Set of Laws. The constitution should then be amended as needed to stay abreast of changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Beijing official ‘has no authority’ to comment on political reform: veteran Hong Kong politician
Former Liberal Party chairman’s remarks appear to be directed at legal chief of Beijing’s liaison office, who urged city to focus on livelihood issues instead of political reform
The relevant provisions of the Hong Kong Basic Law and one country, two systems doctrine both state that China cannot interfere in Hong Kong’s affairs, yet Beijing authorities constantly meddle in the SAR’s internal affairs. Article 39 of the Basic Law guarantees the right of the people to self-determination, and the people have the right to hold referendums on any public issues. The people of Hong Kong people should adhere to the two conventions and hold a referendum to decide their future. Otherwise when the dictatorship becomes reality, they will be obliged to resist.
Don’t pull the plug on nuclear energy
In the aftermath of the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye, Korea faces a new era of uncertainty in the energy sector. This uncertainty is primarily because Moon Jae-in, the leading candidate from the opposition Democratic Party proposed a remarkable shift from nuclear energy.
Human security is a basic human right. Taiwan's most pressing need is for full constitutional reform, which should include human rights conventions and the right to petition for a referendum of any public issues. The advances realized in the global village in the past millennia should all flow into Taiwan in a paradigm shift. As for South Korea, it would do well to study Switzerland's referendum of phasing out nuclear power. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
New aircraft carrier is no indication of China’s military aggression, as a study of military spending makes clear
Dan Steinbock says a more careful study of global military spending paints a different picture from what headlines suggest
Autocracy is the enemy of human peace, and the prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. China is an enabler and agent for North Korea, and all democracies should do their best to avoid antagonizing Pyongyang. The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan's drive to save democracy and lead China and in turn Korea to democratize. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
How Hong Kong government's poor math skills sank Kai Tak Cruise Terminal
The 191 port visits that Hong Kong attracted last year compare poorly to the 391 calls made at Singapore and the 437 at Shanghai
Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that "the right to self-determination is assured by the two international human rights conventions.” The people of Hong Kong cannot take their rights for granted. In Switzerland the hurdle for proposing a referendum is 50,000 signatures, and with that the people can express their opinion through the ballot box rather than taking to the streets. The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issues. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
13 lawmakers of Bareun Party defect ahead of presidential election
13 lawmakers announced their departure from the conservative Bareun Party Tuesday, saying they will support the presidential candidate of a rival party to boost conservatives' chances in the election 7 days away.
North Korea is a vassal of the CCP, thus democracies worldwide should back Taiwan's efforts on behalf of constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization and pressure North Korea to do the same. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, shining the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Hwang renews calls for 'fair, clean' presidential election
South Korea's Acting President and Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn renewed his call for a "fair and clean" presidential vote Tuesday, warning against any election crimes, such as bribery, smear campaigns and opinion manipulation
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system is fatally flawed in many democracies, even that of the US. Taiwan has problems too but cannot fall back on impeachment. South Korea's constitution should be changed to introduce a semi-presidential system, with the presidency declared to be above party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected alternating years and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
No ‘free lunch’ in the economy
The Korean economy has been raising hopeful signs, growing at a faster-than-expected rate of 0.9 percent in the first quarter on the strength of surging exports. Still, it is far from safe due to the danger of a lengthy slow movement. Except for a few mainstay items — semiconductors, automobiles and petrochemicals — most of the exporters that traditionally fueled growth have lost steam.
Economic problems invariably stem from political roots. Without good politics, the economy can never grow. If a constitution is not changed, even the gods will be helpless to save the economy. Comprehensive constitutional reform is the only solution, implementing a modified semi-presidential system including a committee-style legislative system and choosing cabinet ministers from among legislative committee chairs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Presidential committee unveils white paper on unification preparations
A South Korean presidential committee released a white paper Tuesday on its preparations for inter-Korean unification to help people better understand South Korea's unification policy, officials said.
North Korea is a vassal of the CCP, thus all democracies should back Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would encourage China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to do the same – and the result would be world peace. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .
