Taiwan should learn from Scotland’s independence referendum and study its model for a paradigm shift. The people must have the right to hold referendums on any public issues involving national sovereignty. In addition, any motions intended to prevent the people from voting in referendums on self-determination should be the subject of the first referendum to be held. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The Iraqi government should be reworked to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, similar to that of Finland, and the legislative system should be a committee-style system like the one in Switzerland. The Iraqi government should draw up a basic constitution including these changes as well as direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches 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.

The most intelligent approach for the US is to back Taiwan's model for global unity constitutional standards.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The US should adhere closely to the UN Charter and practice the idea of 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.

Social critic Roman Roland once noted that: "In politics, the boss is always money." When elections devolve into a rich man’s game, they naturally become little more than using money to make more money – and the whole system is corrupted. To put an end to ties between the worlds of politics and business, what is needed is comprehensive constitutional reform. Elect the heads of the four main branches of government in alternating years and makes elections free of charge for all candidates cut off the symbiotic links between government and corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

In many democracies elections are a rich man’s game in which money is used to earn the right to make more money. The result is corruption in the system, and to put an end to it constitutional reform and the rule of law must be implemented. Changes should include separation of powers as well as checks and balances to control the loci of power and corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards. .

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Rodrigo Duterte fits perfectly the famous warning of the father of the Philippines, Jose Rizal: "Today's slaves will be tomorrow's tyrants". The failure of the Philippine constitutional mechanism has made the country a breeding ground for tyrants. In order to protect human rights, the Philippines needs to carry out full constitutional reform to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, together with direct election of the heads of the four main branches of government in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
