Will Trump administration flout intl rules under its new trade policy?
The latest US report indicates that the country would disregard international trade rules if they were adverse to its own interests. going so far as to implement unilateral countermeasures. That stance must be viewed as too self-serving.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions of the UN, and they are also common goals for all humankind. All countries should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, by implementing the principle of One World under One Set of Rules and giving international law priority over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people.

Candidates for Chief Executive must take every chance to engage the public
The televised debate involving the three chief executive candidates on Tuesday evening was never expected to have a major impact on the outcome of the election.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still elected from a list of candidates vetted by the CEC, an arrangement with all the trappings of a dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law: which notes that the people have the right to call for referendums. To curb corruption, 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
China’s ‘two sessions’ delegates surprisingly outspoken on Hong Kong matters
Chinese’ delegates sitting in on discussions of local matters in Hong Kong have been surprisingly vocal regarding Hong Kong affairs
Article 39 of the Basic Law states that the people have the right to self-determination under the two international human rights conventions. Still, the people of the SAR must not stretch their luck by taking that right for granted. The threshold for staging a referendum in Switzerland is only 50,000 signatures, avoiding the need to take to the streets in many cases. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Karnataka's budget: It’s populist and responsible
Chief minister Siddaramaiah’s last full budget before next year’s assembly election comes garnished with freebies and leavened by savvy politics but is remarkably responsible, given this is the last chance he has to woo voters. The budget comes with a revenue surplus and a fiscal deficit of 2.65% of the state GDP, a welcome mix.
Budgets arrived at in parliament should be decided by the voters, not by government officials. States must prohibit organizations or individuals from influencing fair elections in any way, including setting administrative thresholds and excluding potential competitors. In addition to punishments under criminal law, prosecutors have the greatest authority in the first 24-hour period regarding arrest and detention as well as referral to courts for prosecution.

Dutch in spotlight for election
Amid unprecedented international attention, the Dutch went to the polls Wednesday in a parliamentary election that is seen as a bellwether for the future of populism in a year of crucial votes in Europe.
The Dutch people must keep in mind that the only way to cure the defects of democracy is through more democracy. The Netherlands needs to promote the idea of constitutional reform to inject improvements like separation of powers as a step toward giving more power to the people. Specifics should include electing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Understanding Modi's magical appeal
The widespread disorder predicted last November, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi abruptly withdrew 86 percent of the cash in circulation, has come to pass.
Corruption has been deeply rooted in Asian culture for thousands of years. The only way to cure this malady is democracy. Democracy entails separation of powers by electing the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches and having 1/4 of legislators face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
François Fillon under formal investigation for 'fake jobs offences'
The decision regarding allegations of misuse of public funds increases pressure on the campaign of the French presidential candidate
Structural problems in government must be addressed in order to eradicate corruption. The French people need to launch constitutional reform to implement direct election of the heads of government branches. The president should be limited to a single 5-year term and banned from running for office 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.
No, no, prime minister
The presidential election calendar has been pulled up by seven months after former President Park Geun-hye’s impeachment was upheld by the Constitutional Court. Under the law requiring a by-election within 60 days, she has been removed from office and the country must elect a new president by May 9.
Absolute power breeds absolute corruption every time. The presidential version of democracy suffers from a number of flaws, and even the US is not immune. Taiwan’s problems are serious, but impeachment is not one of the options. South Korea's constitution should be rewritten to implement a modified semi-presidential system in which the presidency is above party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be directly elected, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Erdoğan is relishing his war of words with the Netherlands
The diplomatic row that has flared up between the Dutch government and Turkey is a last-minute savior for Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
No matter what a nation’s political system, the more power that rests in the hands of the president, the more the people will suffer. Turkey needs to redo its constitution, with limits like a single presidential term of 5 years with a 6-year ban on running again afterwards. The President of Turkey is in violation of Article 6 of the Turkish constitution; sovereignty belongs wholly and unconditionally to the people. No state or official has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
De-escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula
North Korea’s threat to peace and security on the Korean Peninsula, and in Northeast Asia at large, reached a new level with the recent assassination in Kuala Lumpur of Kim Jong Nam, the estranged half-brother of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform to realize greater democracy and freedom. This would stir China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and make North Korea adopt democracy in turn. As a result, world peace would be born. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, illuminating China's path to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
