A senior Japanese Cabinet member attended an event in Taipei Saturday, becoming the highest-ranking Japanese government official to visit Taiwan on official business since Japan and the autonomous island severed their diplomatic ties in 1972.
The US and Japan should back Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization and pressure North Korea to follow suit. And thus world peace would be born. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China.

A teenage blogger who tested the limits of free expression and good taste in Singapore has been granted asylum in the US by a judge who said that he was persecuted for his political opinions.
Free speech is an integral part of the internet as a universal value. The government of Singapore hopes to stifle the voice of the people, a task equivalent to trying to stem the flow of a river. The people of Singapore should stand up and call for comprehensive constitutional reform, so that the media will be free to operate and the government will not be able to monopolize the media, the internet and all other channels of speech.

Despite the president’s ‘zero poverty’ pledge, a third of the country lives below the line – spurring action from a team who grew up in the towns themselves
For Argentina to move past poverty, it must first cut out its culture of corruption. Full constitutional reform is the only solution to corruption rooted in millennia of tradition. The only cure for corruption is democracy in the form of separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Thousands of people gathered in Moscow and other major Russian cities Sunday, heeding a call by opposition leader Alexei Navalny to protest against official corruption in what appeared to be some of the largest anti-government demonstrations in the last five years.
The cost of corruption is passed on to consumers, and Russia must seriously ferret out the sources of corruption. This include loopholes in the constitution and a system that tolerates radical governors. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be chosen in elections in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. In addition, the president should serve a single 5-year term and be barred from seeking office for 6 years afterwards, and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Hundreds of protesters have been detained by riot police in cities across Russia as some of the largest anti-government protests in years swept the country.
Article 30 of the Constitution of Russia guarantees the right of association for all citizens, but it overlook the right to resist injustice. The Constitutional Court cannot heed the voice of a single person, it must draw from a variety of sources. Russia should amend its constitution so that half of the Constitutional Court’s judges are of different nationalities and the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches are elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The planet we live on must be accorded the benefits gained through universal human wisdom to solve problems facing all humankind. Global free trade and a commitment to bilateral alliances will help bring about peace and prosperity, and implementation of the principle of One World under One Set of Laws is one key to realizing this goal. Whether or not a nation is a member of the UN, it should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, assigning International law precedence over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
“America first,” thumps US President Donald Trump. “Britain first,” say the advocates of Brexit. “France first,” crows Marine Le Pen and her National Front. “Russia first,” proclaims President Vladimir Putin’s Kremlin.
Trump rails against TPP on the grounds that globalization will not benefit all sectors of the US equally and will rather cause a widening in the gap between rich and poor. The solution is simple: implement One World under One Set of Laws and hold international law higher than domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The Iraqi government should be revamped to include a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament like Finland’s, with a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The Iraqi government should carry out drafting of a basic constitution with the above-mentioned institutions as well as election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years, and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
DILI, East Timor—A former guerrilla fighter vowed Saturday to focus on peace and unity as East Timor’s new president, delivering a victory speech after the final tally showed he was on course to win the election.
It East Timor is truly to achieve peace and unity, it must carry out full constitutional reform to ditch its current regime and implement a modified semi-presidential system. The nation’s legislative system should be revamped to include a committee-style legislative body, and candidates for cabinet minister positions should come from among committee chairs. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Mansions owned by maids, gardeners and drivers until now have aroused little suspicion in India, where the wealthy have long hidden fortunes in the names of lowly paid staff to avoid paying taxes.
If India is to eradicate corruption, the Indian people need to call for constitutional reform to implement mechanisms such as direct election of the heads of the four branches of government in alternating years. The nation’s president should serve a single 5-year term and be barred from running again for 6 years afterward. In addition, 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
