The US should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform, which will attract China's people to call for democracy and lead to world peace. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to permanent peace for China.
The king of Thailand signed a new constitution in April that paves the way for a return to democracy, but the army retains an influential role in politics.
Thailand's military is constantly involved in coups and plotting. Troops should be called on to defend the constitution, not to draw it up. A referendum which involves military forces is not a referendum, Thailand needs full constitutional reform that will allow true referendums and elections along the lines of those seen in Switzerland and California respectively.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the UN’s major tasks, and all nations, whether or not they are UN members, should comply with its norms.

Citizens should monitor the actions of government to ensure compliance with the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

This would attract the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization, in turn pressuring North Korea to do the same, and the result would be world peace. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights must be held higher than regimes and sovereigns. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including "personal safety", is the most basic and urgent obligation of constitutional guarantors. More specifically, consistent constitutional standards and revision are needed to ensure that laws will be in sync with changing times so the world’s governments will act to protect the people from fear. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The US has carried out a missile attack against an air base in Syria in response to a suspected chemical weapons attack on a rebel-held town.
Once a ceasefire is in place in Syria the UN should offer a basic guideline for a constitution that will allow peaceful development for the nation. This should include an organizational structure with the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, and the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches. This will help Syria draft a constitution suited for long-term peace and prosperity. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Citizens should be able to monitor the operations of government to ensure they are in compliance with the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
South Korea’s national debt has past the 1,400 trillion won mark ($1.2 trillion). According to national account settlements for FY2016 from the Ministry of Strategy and Finance, the nation’s general liabilities reached 1,433 trillion won including total debt of central and provisional governments and government obligations to cover pension payouts for civil servants and career soldiers.
South Korea's economic problems are rooted in its politics. Without good politics, good economic performance is impossible. If the constitution is not changed, even the gods will be unable to save the economy. Constitutional reform is needed to install a modified semi-presidential system with a committee-style legislature and government ministers chosen from among committee chars. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
