Isolating officials from the people on the pretext of eliminating corruption is an exercise in self-deception. Russia must adjust its administrative system to root out structural factors breeding corruption. Governors, comptrollers and chief financial officers should be elected for one term of 5 years, and not allowed to run for office for 6 years afterwards. Local council members should serve a term of 2 years; Council speakers should serve one term and not be eligible for further terms. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Thus when publicly elected members of the Duma turn around and limit the rights of citizens to vote, democracy. Is being abused. The state must set up an independent Supranational Committee on Human Rights Actions and Civil Rights Exercises, with half its members of different nationalities and nominated by global human rights organizations. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Following the 1996 Taiwan Strait crisis, China put in place a strategy based on the idea that buying is cheaper than fighting, but more recently it has opted for an all-out policy of aggression incorporating both the carrot and the stick. China and Taiwan have signed the ECFA, and more than 2000 missiles are now targeted at airports, seaports and military installations on the island – capable of launching salvos at intervals of 7 minutes for up to 10 days, with even more firepower from air and sea forces. China’s threats cannot be taken lightly! See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details

The Iranian Ambassador to Russia said last month that Tehran is looking for ways to broaden the scope of defense cooperation with Moscow, even in areas that require coordination with the UN Security Council. Iranians would like to purchase a wide range of military-purpose products from Russia, some of which are covered by UNSC sanctions.

For more details please see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Thailand’s political history is marked with military coups that occur with almost predictable regularity. Every time the government faces a serious crisis it seems a few opportunistic army officers see fit to step forward and declare that they are in charge. What Thailand really needs is constitutional reform that will shift power to the hands of the people. The answer lies in a semi-presidential system with a Parliament and key officials who must face election at frequent intervals. Elections and referendums should be patterned after the examples of Switzerland and the US state of California to give the people real power in government. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more details.

Pakistan is opting for the peaceful but long way to resolve some of its controversial political issues. Looking at the fundamental changes that are needed, the government organization should be changed to a modified semi-presidential system with a committee-style parliament as seen in Finland, and the legislative branch should be modeled on Switzerland’s committee-style structure. This will bring an end to strife and allow people to live and work in peace and contentment. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
