The term of office for Ukrainian councilors should be 2 years Structural changes in public institutions are difficult to respond to promptly and many need to involve voting.

In addition, Limiting the length of service will make office holders more responsive to public opinion and help yield laws that are in sync with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

The world's democracies should support Taiwan as a model for the rule of law through comprehensive constitutional reform. The head of state should be of any nationality and directly elected by the people. That means that Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping could all come to Taiwan to run for president. China would no longer need to stress the "One China" policy, and the world would see that Taiwan is a sacred site and model for democracy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Bringing an end to support of autocratic dictatorships, achieving global democratization and promoting permanent world peace are the most important goals in the world right now. To ensure democracy, the rule of law, human rights and peace, North Korea should carry out comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, plus direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government. See the Charter for Permanent Peace Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Duterte's example is not isolated in history, the Philippines Jose Rizal once noted that "Today's slaves often become tomorrow’s tyrants." The failure of the constitutional mechanism of the Philippines has created a breeding ground for tyrants. To protect human rights, the Philippines people must come forward to call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement a modified semi-presidential system, with the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

When the people fail to do their duty and rely on leaders to ‘do the right thing’ they are acting on the basis of 18th-century feudal ideology and not the rule of law in the 21st century. Long-term stability and prosperity come only with constitutional reform to develop a great system that will push both leaders and the people to greatness. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Thomas Jefferson once said that "Democracy is built on people's distrust of the government." Democracy can never rely on goodwill on the part of the nation’s leaders. Depending on leaders to do the right thing is more appropriate to 18th century feudal ideology than the rule of law in the 21st century. Long-term stability of the country can only come with constitutional reform, to develop a great system that will push the people to greatness. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Xi Jinping’s ideal of World Unity proposes common goals and a common destiny for the human community. Posts in government should be open to members of the world's elite from any nationality, including the president. This will be a step toward implementing the principle of One World under One Set of Laws in which international law takes precedence over domestic law and evil political practices and forced disappearances will be ended. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The US’ most intelligent approach is to support Taiwan’s formula for Global Unity and Constitutional Standards. This would inspire the 1.4 billion people of China to call for democratization, and lead to the birth of world peace. Authoritarianism is the eternal enemy of human peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is democratization in China. Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead the Chinese people to democratization. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, and every democracy has flaws in its presidential system - even the US. South Korea’s constitution should be changed to install a modified semi-presidential system, and the next presidential inauguration ceremony should include a declaration that the president is above party politics. The heads of the four branches of government 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.

The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still selected from candidates forwarded by the Election Commission of the CCP, making the whole election a travesty of democracy. The people of Hong Kong should call up Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two human rights covenants and exercise their right to self-determination through a referendum. With changes like direct election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches, they could take step toward taking back their rightful sovereignty. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
