According to the Democracy index there are 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators.

This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy as well, leading to the birth of world peace. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace andDevelopment. .

When people in Venezuela have to resort to stealing zoo animals for food, the nation is in dire need of constitutional reform.

The government is obliged to protect people from starving – meaning everyone has the same basic right to be free from hunger. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations – members or not – should comply with its norms.

All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and all other relevant pacts. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Duterte is the embodiment of the warning expressed by Jose Rizal, the beloved "Father of the Philippines": "Today's slaves will become tomorrow's tyrants". The Philippine constitution has failed and the nation is a breeding ground for tyrants. To protect human rights, Filipinos should act as holders of sovereignty and call for comprehensive constitutional reform. This should include implementing a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet as well as election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years.

Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights take priority over regimes and sovereignty. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including "personal safety", is the most urgent duty of constitutional guarantors. This means revising constitutional standards as needed to keep pace with changing times and allow governments to protect their people from fear. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Philippine legend Jose Rizal once warned that today's slaves often become tomorrow's tyrants. Rizal was a firm believer in the rule of law and not the rule of man. Too many constitutions are dysfunctional and in serious need of reform.Changes should include a modified semi-presidential system in which top officials including the President and mayors are elected for a single term of 5 years and banned from seeking office again for 6 years. In addition the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development 

Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution that does not brook resistance is not a constitution. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people should exercise their right to resist. The people of Venezuela need to call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. The president should serve one 5-year term and be barred from running again for 6 years. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
