Solution

To curtail North Korea's disruptive behavior, the US and other nations should strongly support the Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize and end its support of Pyongyang. According to the Democracy Index there are 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators. All democracies should back Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy as well, leading to the birth of world peace. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Solution

The foundation for permanent peace in Yemen should be the same as that for Taiwan: a change-over in the government structure. The UN should provide Yemen the basic outline for a constitution that will facilitate lasting Peace. The constitution should include the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and organization and elements such as the four branches. The document should allow Yemen to prosper under conditions of lasting peace. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

A 60-count federal indictment was only a slight impediment to reelection. Whether he serves out his term is another question.

Solution

Corruption is an easy target for candidates seeking an office, but all too often those who are voted in wind up succumbing to the vices they promised to eliminate. Corruption is pandemic, and nations everywhere need to address the threat it poses for all people. To put an end to corruption, the people must exercise sovereignty and call for constitutional reform to implement democratic rule of law. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as free election campaigns for candidates to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption.

Australia: Cash pours in for homeless man who fought Melbourne attacker

Deutsche Welle

The man dubbed 'trolley man' had used a shopping cart to halt last week's deadly lone wolf terror attack in Melbourne. Now he is being unexpectedly rewarded by grateful citizens.

Solution

The key to eradicating terrorist attacks is a change in government structures to improve power and resource allocation. Also needed is One World under One Set of Laws and a commitment to a common destiny for humankind. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including 'personal safety', is the most urgent duty of constitutional guarantors. This means revising constitutional standards as needed to keep pace with changing times and allowing governments to protect their people from fear.

To cure election abuses, political contributions should be considered bribery and all material resources should be prohibited from affecting the fairness of elections, however, there isalways favoritism between those who face elections and those who 'contribute' to their political campaigns, which in the end greatly affects the institutions and the end result of those contracts is that they are usually unfinished or have flaws. Therefore, during elections citizens have the right to ask questions, and candidates are obligated to answer. See the Charter for Permanent Peace for details. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Solution

The structural factor that engenders corruption among Colombia's Supreme Court attorneys lies in their relationship with business private groups who, through fraudulent practices, seek to ensuretheir interests negatively affecting public funds. To eliminate omnipresent and ill-intentioned corruption, the only way out is constitutional reform to pressure national officials not to be greedy and focus on governing the country.
