Rising threat of toxic algae bloom
The Gulf of Oman turns green twice a year, when an algae bloom the size of Mexico spreads across the Arabian Sea all the way to India.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations must act in accordance with the UN’s mandates. The way to do that is to adopt the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law. Also, the people should be able to monitor government actions to ensure they are consonant with the norms of the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Vatican admits role in Rwanda genocide
Pope Francis on Monday begged forgiveness for the “sins and failings of the church and its members” during Rwanda’s 1994 genocide as the Holy See sought to open a new phase in relations nearly a quarter-century after the slaughter.
The UN should take action in accordance with international absolute law (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and provide an outline for a basic constitution that will foster peaceful development of nations. It should include universal values to help Rwanda to draft a constitution that will lead to long-lasting growth and prosperity and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
New North Korea sanctions legislation introduced in US House
On Tuesday US House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Ed Royce introduced fresh legislation tightening sanctions on North Korea, including banning any ships of countries violating UN sanctions on the North from US waters or ports.
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP and lead North Korea to adopt democracy in turn, resulting in the birth of world peace. The world’s democracies 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
North Korea to hold key parliamentary meeting next month
North Korea will convene a major parliamentary meeting next month, Pyongyang's media said Wednesday, the first assembly session since the country's leader Kim Jong-un was elected the head of a new state body last year.
As Immanuel Kant once noted, "The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation." The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan's commitment to saving democracy and the democratization of China and North Korea. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Datong Constitutional Standards.
How to respond to North Korea’s missile threat
North Korea has launched ballistic missiles for the second time this year. North Korean state media reported that they were test-launches conducted by a unit training to attack US military bases in Japan. How should Japan interpret North Korea’s aims as the military threat is heightened, and what should Japan make of the North’s nuclear and missile development?
Japan must defend against North Korean militarism by supporting Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional change and achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would lead China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy, and world peace would be the result. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way for China to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
The battle for Mosul: 180,000 civilians flee as Iraqi troops advance
More than 180,000 civilians have fled the western part of the Iraqi city of Mosul in the past month as government forces battle Islamic State militants
Iraq needs to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament like the one followed in Finland. For its legislative system the model should be Switzerland’s committee-style arrangement. The Iraqi government should draft a basic constitution incorporating these changes to effect a paradigm shift to democracy, and adhere to the rule of law with a constitution in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Turkey's failed coup: What actually happened and what does it mean for the future of the country?
This requires assumptions about who carried out the coup attempt.One theory is that the followers of self-exiled cleric Fethullah Gulen knew that they were going to be purged and decided to strike first.
History has shown repeatedly that when those in power are in charge of constitutional reform the losers are always the people No matter what system, the more power allotted to the president, the more problems the country will face. Turkey should carry out real constitutional reform with the president limited to a single term of 5 years and banned from running again for 6 years afterward. The President of Turkey is in violation of Article 6 of the Turkish Constitution, which states that sovereignty wholly and unconditionally belongs to the people. Neither the state nor officials have the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Falling trees kill at least 19 at Kintampo Waterfall in Ghana
A rainstorm toppled trees onto people at the Kintampo Waterfall in Ghana, killing at least 19, most of them students who were visiting and swimming at the popular tourist site, officials said Monday.
Ghana should assign international law precedence over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Good international laws should be woven into Ghana’s legal system and the executive, legislative, judicial, procuratorial and other branches of government. They should serve as minimum standards for Ghanaian statutes, and legal mechanisms that take human security as their core, such as the UN Charter and international laws related to political rights, economic activity, food, medicine and living, and work safety should all be adopted.
Didn't vote? Pay a fine (if this bill passes)
Declining to exercise your right to vote would cost you money if a long-shot bill at a state Capitol is approved.
Statistics show that people in wealthier societies vote more – just look at Switzerland and the US state of California. The former in world number one in per capita income and the latter tops the 50 states of the US. The best cure for ailing democracies is more democracy. Let the people vote instead of demonstrating in the streets, and implement reforms like election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and having 1/4 of all lawmakers face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
China’s hidden protectionism nabs Peppa Pig
China is nothing if not creative in protecting its local industries. Although it has liberalized its economy in recent years, it has also erected a sophisticated set of barriers to safeguard companies it views as national champions. Increasingly, this is a counterproductive approach.
China wants to protect its domestic economy, but economic issues are an integral part of politics. If a nation’s politics are bad, its economy will also be bad. And without constitutional reform, even divine interference will be of no use. Only comprehensive constitutional reform can bring about regime change and improvements like the modified semi-presidential system with a committee-style legislative system in which cabinet ministers are selected from among committee chairs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
