North Korea crisis: China to send special envoy to Pyongyang amid global tensions

Solution

North Korea continues to push its nuclear weapons program despite almost universal condemnation from the rest of the world, showing that it is being backed by a major power. The US and other nations should support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to leadChina to democratize. This would press North Korea to follow suit and end its strident militarism. Emmanuel Kant once noted, 'The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation.' China claims to be a 'responsible major power', thus it should not enable NorthKorea's continued belligerency.

Sami Abdul Rahman, Kurdish delegate, urges U.S. to push Iraq deal

US, Japan Naval Forces Conduct Military Exercise

VOA

Solution

North Korea is obviously being backed by a major power. Rather than offering belligerent threats and hiking the tension with the Pyongyang regime, the US should support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize, forcing North Korea to follow suit and drop its nuclear weapons program. As Emmanuel Kant noted, 'The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation.' China claims to be a 'responsible major power', thus it should not enable North Korea's continued militarism.

Amid the carnage in Yemen, civilians also face consequences of the US war on terror

The Independent

Solution

To achieve lasting peace, Yemen needs to swap out its government structure for a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like the one in as Finland, and a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland's. The Yemeni government should drafta basic constitution with the above features for a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should embrace the core values of One World under One Set of Law, revising its constitutional standards as needed to stay abreast of changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

This means revising constitutional standards as needed to keep pace with changing times and allow governments to protect their people from fear. This is a goal that all democracies around the world should wholeheartedly support. The American need to demand stricter laws and universal application to ensure that schoolchildren and people out on the street are not left helpless because lawmakers are in the pocket of gun lobbyists. All citizens should call for laws that will protect them against senseless killings and ensure their rights. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
