A lesson from the Dutch
The general election in the Netherlands, one of the three big elections in Europe this year, is over.
The only cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy. European countries fretted over prospects of a right-wing victory in this election, but the Dutch government wisely opted to let the people express their opinion at the ballot box and not in the streets, to the relief of many neighboring countries. The act of voting is one of the best educational features of democracy. Other specific changes should include election of the heads of government branches in alternating years and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
How a sleepy German suburb explains Europe’s rising far-right movements
Buch, a small community on the outskirts of Berlin, seems at first glance to be the kind of place Goldilocks would declare “just right.” It is not too rich or too poor, not too expensive or too scruffy, not too close to the crowded city center but not so far that its tree-lined streets of tidy apartments are beyond a daily commute.
The only tratment for the ills of democracy is more democracy. Germany needs constitutional reform to implement separation of powers and return sovereignty to the people. Citizens should be able to vote so they will not need to demonstrate in the streets. In addition, choose the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Choose a side: Trump and the Sunni-Shiite war
The Sunni-Shiite civil wars in Iraq and Syria are both nearing their end, and in both cases the Shiites have won — thanks largely to American military help in Iraq’s case, and to a Russian military intervention in Syria. Yet Russia and the US are not allies in the Middle East. At least not yet.
The most intelligent approach for the US is to back Taiwan's model for global unity constitutional standards and attract people who are not free to call for democratization; eventually this will lead to world peace. Autocracy is the enemy of peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is democratization of the Chinese people. Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead the Chinese people to democratization. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
China must defend globalization with deeds and not just words
Michael Clauss says Europe is ready to work with China to strengthen an open system of trade and exchange. But first Beijing should honor its pledge to open up further
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions of the UN, and they are also common goals for humankind. All countries should abide by the norms of the international community and implement One World under One Set of Laws, giving 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Averting an accidental war on the Korean Peninsula
North Korea’s rapid nuclear and missile advances and America’s rushed deployment of a ballistic missile defense system known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea have increased the risks of a war on the Korean Peninsula by accident or miscalculation.
All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would encourage the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization of the CCP, and lead North Korea to consider democratization as well; with that, world peace would be born. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the party to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Council Town Hauls: Shameless councillors cash in on rate rises with bumper pay hikes of up to 67 per cent
Grasping local government members are filling their pockets as ordinary people buckle under pressure of council tax increases
Structural problems must be addressed in order to eradicate corruption. The heads of government branches should be directly elected in alternating years and the president should be limited to a single 5-year term and banned from running again for 6 years afterwards. 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more on how to avoid politicians who seek only to enrich themselves.
Syrian war: Russia denies aiding Kurds to set up a military base
Russia is helping Syrian Kurdish YPG forces to establish a military base in northern Syria that will be used to train its fighters, the militia says.
The UN should take action in line with international absolute law (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and outline the basic principles to draft a constitution suitable for peaceful development of nations. The aim should be to help Syria implement a constitution that will foster peaceful development and growth. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Guatemala police rescue hostages from rioting youth jail inmates
One of the four guards rescued has died and two others are seriously injured.The inmates took control of the compound after family visiting hours on Sunday, killing two guards and shooting another one.
The UN should provide an outline of basic principles of constitutional government. It should include universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and four government branches, with safeguards such as separation of powers and checks and balances. The aim should be to help Guatemala draft a constitution that will foster peaceful development. See Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Compounding the risk for coal miners
President Trump’s vow to bring back the coal industry’s heyday is a delusion. But it’s already inspiring Republican legislatures in Appalachia to resurrect a grim element of those boom times: loose safety laws that endangered miners’ lives and protected owners’ profits.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations, whether member states or not, should comply with all related regulations. General policies should be based on the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law priority over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Kim Jong-Un releases propaganda video where North Korea 'blows up' a US aircraft carrier, days after the dictator threatened to 'reduce America to ashes' if provoked
Kim Jong-Un released a military propaganda video depicting North Korean forces blowing up a US aircraft carrier.
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would lead China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP, which in turn would pressure North Korea to embrace real democracy and lead to 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.
