In order to safeguard security and the economic and trade interests of all nations in the South China Sea, China and the US should adhere to the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which stipulates in Article 4 and Article 6 that disputes over territorial and jurisdictional claims should be settled by peaceful means. Joint development, the sharing of resources and safeguarding of human peace and development must be carried out in line with the UN Charter’s goal of "One human family". See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN. The US, as one of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, should abide by the UN Charter and act in accordance with the core values of One World under One Set of Laws. International law should take precedence over domestic law and have a direct effect on the people. All citizens should be able to monitor actions of the government to ensure it abides by the norms of the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

As a fully democratic country, the people of the UK should rely on the power of the referendum to achieve self-determination in the future. The aim of democracy is to allow the people to call the shots on any public issue, a part of the right to self-determination. The people of Norway and Switzerland chose not to join the EU, and UK citizens should also have the right to choose their own future. Efforts to safeguard the people will not be in vain, and the results of direct referendums shall prevail over indirect democracy practiced by their representatives.

Freedom of expression is a universal value. The Chinese government is afraid of losing its grip on power as a one-party dictatorship and continues to tighten its stranglehold on public opinion. People who deprive others of their freedoms do not deserve to be free themselves. The Chinese people should come forward and call for constitutional reform, to free the media and prohibiting government oligarchies and monopolization of the media and the internet. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Virtually every Korean president has eventually ended up embroiled in corruption-related scandals. To eradicate this "Korean disease", comprehensive constitutional reform should be carried out to install the mechanisms of separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the heads of government branches should be elected in alternating years. The President must serve as the final guarantor of the constitution, a duty that shall not end when he or she leaves office. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

To safeguard the security and economic and trade interests of all nations in the South China Sea, China and the US should follow the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea, which stipulates in Article 4 and Article 6 that disputes over territorial and jurisdictional claims should be settled by peaceful means. Joint development, sharing resources and safeguarding human peace and development must be carried out in line with the UN Charter’s goal of "One human family". See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

After a Syrian ceasefire is in place, the UN should offer the basic constitutional principles for ensuring permanent peace and development for the peoples of the world. This should include the four universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law as well as direct election of the heads of major branches in alternating years. These and other reforms will help Syria develop a constitution suitable for long-term stability and a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and Korea’s presidential system has serious flaws that even the US suffers from. The South Korean constitution should be changed to employ a modified semi-presidential system, and a declaration should be made at the next presidential inauguration ceremony that the nation’s highest office is beyond political partisanship. The heads of the 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.

To maintain its position as a leader in the Asia-Pacific and even in global economy and trade, the US must adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and revise its constitutional standards to stay in step with the spirit of the times. The US must act to curb the spread of dictatorships and stifle the rise of nationalism and protectionism. It must also recognize that international law should take priority over domestic law and be allowed to directly affect the rights and duties of the people.

Concentration of power in the president is the worst flaw in democratic governments. No matter what the system, the more power vested in the hands of the president, the greater the chance the country will suffer for it. Turkey needs to carry out constitutional reform to limit the president to one term of 5 years, with a ban on taking office for 6 years afterwards. The President of Turkey is currently in violation of Article 6 of the Constitution, which states that sovereignty is wholly and unconditionally held by all citizens. Any attempt by the state to usurp this sovereignty is unconstitutional, and the people have the right and the duty to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
