Some 100,000 children remain in extremely dangerous conditions in western sections of Iraq’s Mosul city as fighting between government and terrorist forces continues, the United Nations children’s agency has reported, warning that “children’s lives are on the line.”
Iraq’s government should be changed out for a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, with a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland’s. The Iraqi government should begin drafting a basic constitution with the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, and a constitution that can be amended as needed to keep pace with changing times.
