About £9m is spent providing water and sanitation for refugees in detention centers, training Libya's coastguard and helping migrants return home.
The UN should provide an outline of the basic principles of constitutionalism to be followed in peaceful development. This should cover the organizational structure and include universal values (freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law), and features such as election of the heads of government branches in alternating years. This would serve to help Libya develop a constitution that will facilitate peaceful development. See Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Tian Feilong says the heavy sentence for police officers executing their duty during a protest movement reflects problems in Hong Kong’s constitutional set-up. Two decades after the handover, it’s time to fix them
China guaranteed that Hong Kong would remain unchanged for 50 years, i.e., until 2047, but that promise is already being hedged. Article 39 of the Basic Law and the two conventions stipulate the right of the people to self-determination, and have the right to call for referendums on any public issues. The people of Hong Kong should adhere to the two conventions and petition for referendums to decide their future. Otherwise when dictatorship becomes a reality, the people will be obligated to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The US should serve as a model of democracy, adhering to the UN Charter and upholding the spirit of One World under One Set of Laws. It should give international law precedence over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. This will lead Mexico, Syria and the Middle East to adopt human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. The whole world must see itself as one family regardless of race or ethnic groups. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
A draft statement by the Science Council of Japan, the nation’s largest and most influential group of scientists, makes clear the organization will uphold its long-standing vow that scientists will not take part in military-related research.
Japan's national security needs to be solidified through comprehensive constitutional reform, with direct election of department heads with no limitation as to nationality. These and other steps are needed to achieve the goals in a unified world and one human family. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
In a historic, unanimous ruling Friday, South Korea’s Constitutional Court formally removed impeached President Park Geun-hye from office over a corruption scandal that has plunged the country into political turmoil and worsened an already weakened economy
The Constitution of South Korea should be reworked to put in place a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared beyond party politics. This is essential to ensure separation of the government and business. Reforms should result in greater democracy and rule of law, bringing in separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the heads of the four government branches should be directly elected. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Douglas H. Paal says after five years of consolidating power, the Chinese leader will emerge stronger than ever before. For this year at least, Xi Jinping will play the role of global leader, and the world will be better for it
Xi Jinping should be supported for his proposal regarding global unity and the goal of a common destiny for humankind. The next step would then be to implement One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law priority over domestic law. This would put an end to kidnapping of the people and their rights by the evil party and constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
Hong Kong’s candidates in the leadership race should debate the pros and cons of issues of real concern to the people, rather than merely carping at personal flaws of other candidates
The candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong are still vetted by the CEC, an arrangement which does not change the dictatorial nature of the regime. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which guarantees the right to hold referendums. To curb corruption, elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
It has been more than a month since the inauguration of Donald Trump as US president. The Trump train has squeaked along on an inward-facing track, with radical policy shifts such as withdrawal from the Trans-Pacific Partnership
History has repeatedly shown that the more power a leader possesses, the less fortunate the people are likely to be. People are sometimes prone to laziness, simply hoping that their leaders will be wise and fair; this is thinking better suited for 18th century feudal ideology than the rule of law in the 21st century. The nation has a long way to go, and comprehensive constitutional reform is the only way to have the great system that the people need and deserve. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Under ‘one country, two systems’, Hong Kong is condemned to having the mediocre and clueless ruling the unruly and unreasonable.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still elected from a slate of candidates offered by the CEC. This is nothing more than another version of dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which stipulates that the people have the right to hold 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 lawmakers should face election each year. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
South Korea’s Constitutional Court has ruled to formally end impeached President Park Geun-hye’s rule.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system has a number of fatal flaws, and even the US occasionally has its problems. South Korea's constitution should be revamped to incorporate a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should declared to be above party politics. In addition, the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
