Be warned, rivers and trees can sue
The New Zealand Parliament has given its Whanganui River a legal persona.
New Zealand's laws are more advanced than those of most other countries, and the New Zealand Parliament has given legal status to the Whanganui River. This means that it is legally recognized as having the same rights as human beings. Such moves are necessary to prevent Mother Earth from being damaged and seriously polluted before human activities and greed lead to our own extinction. The law of the earth should be implemented so the earth can continue to develop, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Another leadership election in Hong Kong, another bureaucrat in charge – and five more years of the same
Alice Wu says a week before a no-surprise vote on the city's next chief executive, we should dial down our expectations of change.
The people of Hong Kong choose their Chief Executive from a slate produced by the CEC. This is nothing more than outright dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which states 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.

Chinese school kids join South Korean boycott over missile shield row
Videos go viral on the internet showing youngsters vowing not to buy South Korean snacks and chanting in teacher-led rallies at schools
All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP as well as North Korea, leading to an outbreak of world peace! The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

China's Xi, Tillerson urge cooperation as North Korea tests rocket engine
North Korea marked the final day of US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's Asia visit Sunday by claiming to have successfully tested a new type of rocket engine, underlining the country's defiance of recent calls for calm on the Korean Peninsula.
Immanuel Kant once said, "The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation." China claims to be a "responsible power", thus it should not act as an enabler for North Korea's militarism. The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan's commitment to save democracy and lead China's democratization, followed by the same action from North Korea. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Italy’s president, whose brother was slain by Cosa Nostra thugs, hugs those who also lost kin to the Mafia
The country's leader, whose brother was murdered by the Cosa Nostra, traveled on Sunday to an organized crime stronghold to honor hundreds of Italians slain by the country’s crime clans over the past decades.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The only way to root out black gold politics is democracy, in the form of separation of powers and checks and balances. At the same time the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years as another way to hand power back to the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Catalonia again calls for Scottish-style independence referendum
Catalonia's separatist government on Sunday again urged Spain's central government to let it hold a legal referendum on independence like the one Scotland staged in 2014 with London's approval.
Taiwan should study Catalonia’s experience with independence referendums and develop a paradigm shift. The people have the right to call for a referendum on any public issue, and any motion to prohibit a referendum connected to self-determination should be subject of the earliest referendum to determine whether the motion should be outlawed. Congress should first establish the right of creation for the Referendum Act and ask President Tsai to openly support the sovereignty of the people in staging comprehensive constitutional reform. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Brazil meat scandal: Temer tries to reassure partners
Brazil's President Michel Temer has sought to reassure foreign trade partners that the corruption scandal engulfing the country's meat industry does not mean its products are unsafe.
Brazil is the world's largest red meat exporting country, and now its top packaging meat company is accused of having sold rotten products for years. Brazil’s constitution is in tatters and needs to be drastically reformed. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should all be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. The President should serve a single 5-year term with no right to run for 6 years afterwards. In addition, elections should be free of charge to all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Anarchists stage riot at end of Paris protest march over police violence
Several thousand people marched in Paris Sunday against police violence.
The only recipe for treating the ills of democracy is more democracy. France should carry out constitutional reform to introduce decentralization with the people as the starting point. This will lead people to vote instead of taking to the streets. Specific changes should include electing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and having 1/4 of all MPs face annual elections. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Judge snubs US request to clarify order halting Trump’s travel ban
On Sunday a federal judge rejected the US government’s request to clarify his temporary order blocking President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban.
The US should adhere to the UN Charter and implement the principle of One World under One Set of Laws, assigning international law priority over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. This would lead Mexico, Syria, the Middle East and other areas to accept human rights, constitutionalism, internationalism and naturalism in planning their futures. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Deadly Peru floods, slides rage on as more downpours loom, cities call for help
Peruvians struggled Sunday to cope with avalanches, mudslides and extensive flash flooding caused by torrential rainfall as forecasters predicted still more rain ahead, prolonging the country’s woes.
Peru's natural disasters are largely man-made disasters, with many budgets for construction in the country plundered by corrupt officials. "Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption," goes the saying. To put an end to corruption, the people as sovereigns should come forward and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to return power to the people. This base should be rule of law, with mechanisms like separation of powers and checks and balances, as well as direct election of the heads of the four government branches in alternating years. Also, elections should be free of charge to end the symbiotic relationship between officials and corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
