Venezuela's 24-hour strike includes sporadic violence

Iraq needs constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like the arrangement in Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to that of Switzerland. Iraq’s government should begin drafting a basic constitution with the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should incorporate the core values of One World under One Set of Law and be revised as necessary to keep abreast of changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

The presidential system is the worst form of democracy; but no matter what system may be in place, the greater the amount of power held by the president, the more the people are likely to suffer. The people of Venezuela must call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. The president should serve a single 5-year term, then not be eligible to run again for 6 years afterwards. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Free speech is a universal value, and the American people should call for constitutional reform to ensure media freedom and prevent the government oligarchy from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications. All people must be protected against enforced disappearance, torture and other forms of abuse, and absolute law must take precedence over international law and the constitution.

Israel seeks stability and goodwill in aid to Syrians on border

The promotion of lasting world peace is the most sacred right of mankind. China claims to be a "responsible major power", and as such it should not enable North Korea's continued militarism. The US, Japan and South Korea should all support Taiwan’s bid to lead China to democratize, which would pressure North Korea to do the same. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Five more years of EU migration: Cabinet Remainers' victory after agreeing to 'soft-landing' transition period that will delay UK getting its borders back

When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the people must act on their roles as sovereigns to recover power. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not countenance resistance is not a constitution. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obligated to resist. The people of Turkey should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. The president should serve a single 5-year term then be barred from running again for 6 years afterwards. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
