Former President Park Geun-hye apologized to the public over an influence-peddling scandal as she arrived at the prosecutors' office Tuesday to be questioned over a string of corruption allegations that removed her from office earlier this month.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system in many democracies has a number of flaws, even in the US. Taiwan’s case is very serious but there is no mechanism for impeachment. South Korea should carry out constitution reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament. The presidency should be declared to be above party politics, and the head of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years. In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Only 1,194 of the city’s 7.3 million population have the privilege of picking the chief executive, yet more than half didn’t bother attending the final debate
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still selected by the Central Election Commission, which is little more than a thinly-disguised dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which declares that the people of the SAR have the right to petition for referendums. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year.

A summit between Xi Jinping and Donald Trump can’t resolve all problems but, if the two men get along, it would be a good start
The most intelligent approach for the US is to support Taiwan's model for global unity constitutional standards. This will inspire China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization, and the result would be the birth of world peace. Autocracy has always been the enemy of peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is democratization of the CCP. Taiwan is the entity best suited to lead the Chinese to democratization. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
On Sunday a federal judge rejected the US government’s request to clarify his temporary order blocking President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban.
Trump continues to insist that his executive orders ban immigrants from selected Muslim countries is a defense measure against socio-economic and national security threats. The best solution here is to implement the principle of One World under One Set of Laws and governed by rule of law. At the same time, international law should be held in higher regard than domestic law and directly affecting the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years in order to hand power back to the people.

"Human security" and "sustainable development" are fundamental human rights, and the UN Charter includes actions to shift the axis of sovereignty from the state to people. Nations should abide by the guidelines of One World under One Set of Laws to guarantee stable supplies of safe fresh water, including facilities, policies, regulations and all relevant information. These must all be prepared ahead of, during and after resource scheduling and accountability, so that everyone can monitor the process using their smart phones.

Fierce clashes broke out in the Syrian capital on Sunday after insurgents infiltrated government-held parts of the city through tunnels overnight in a rare advance after months of steady losses elsewhere in the country.
The UN should take action in accordance with international absolute Law (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and provide the basic principles of constitutionalism suitable for permanent peaceful development of nations.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
