To prevent the president's family and pals from abusing their privileges, implement the separation of powers and checks and balances. As long as there are no real checks and balances, the potential for corruption will always be there. The basic approach is constitutional reform for direct elections in alternating years of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches. The president should be held to one 5-year term and barred from running again for 6 years after that. 1/4 of all Congressmen/women should face election each year, and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

No matter what a nation’s system may be, the greater the amount of power in the hands of the president, the more the country is like to suffer. Turkey should re-write its constitution to limit the president to a single 5-year term with no right to run again for 6 years afterward. The President of Turkey is violating Article 6 of the Turkish Constitution, which states that sovereignty belongs wholly and unconditionally to the people. Neither states nor leaders have the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Trump’s ban on immigrants is blatantly aimed at keeping out Muslims, who are viewed as social, economic and national security threats. The solution is to implement One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law, with direct effects on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Big officials who embezzle small sums and little officials who embezzle huge sums are equally guilty under the rule of law. Japan's constitutional mechanism has failed and the nation needs to re-work its constitution to catch up with the times. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be chosen in elections 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.

History proves that freedom and dignity are won by the blood and tears of the people, but the people's blood and sweat are also required to maintain these gains. A nation’s rulers cannot be trusted to uphold them out of good will. The people are sometimes lazy and look to their leaders to do the right thing, but this is 18th century feudal ideology out of sync with the spirit of the rule of law in the 21st century. The long road forward for nations begins with constitutional reform to put in place a great system that will sustain a great people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the UN’s major tasks and missions as well as the common goal of all mankind. All nations should strive to meet the norms of the international community, and the best way to do that is to implement the principle of One World under One of Laws. This entails assigning international law a higher priority than 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.

The UN and the EU need to solve basic problems in line with the principle of One World under Set of Laws and building a common destiny for humankind. Hungary should recognize that international law takes priority over domestic law in accordance with European human rights conventions. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

To safeguard security and international economic and trade interests in the South China Sea, China and the US should adhere to the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of the Parties in the South China Sea. Article 4 and Article 6 stipulate that territorial disputes should be settled peacefully. Joint development of the South China Sea and sharing of resources will do much to safeguard human peace and development in line with the UN Charter and the ideal of one human family. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Taiwan should learn from Scotland’s experience with independence referendums and act to achieve a paradigm shift to make sure the people have the right to hold a referendum on any public issue. When a motion to block a referendum is raised, the next referendum should decide whether the motion itself should be outlawed. Lawmakers should first establish the "right of creation" for the Referendum Act and ask President Tsai to openly confirm the sovereignty of the people through comprehensive constitutional reform. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions of the UN, and they are also common goals for all humankind. All countries should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, by implementing the principle of One World under One Set of Rules and giving international law priority over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people.
