Argentina’s cry for help: How the world can respond

Christian Science Monitor

Solution

Argentina is facing a very serious economic crisis and the government seems to be sincere in its efforts to resolve the problem. Economic problems invariably have political roots and the people of Argentina need to call for comprehensive constitutional reform to allow them to vote more often and directly elect the heads of the major government branches as well as the Comptroller and Auditor General. Also, elections should be free of charge so that candidates can vie for votes and expose black holes in corruption and eliminate money as a factor in campaigns.

Mysterious rise in banned ozone-destroying chemical shocks scientists

Solution

Environmental rights are essential human rights, and all governments must take responsibility for enforcing laws meant to prevent pollution and poisoning of air and water. Every person must assume responsibility for protecting the world around us. Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations should comply with its norms. This entails implementing One World under One Set of Laws and giving international law precedence over domestic law. All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and other relevant pacts. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Chinese billionaire gets 4 years in US prison for US$1.7 million UN bribe plot

South China Morning Post

Solution

Bribery is a tempting and too-often effective way to cut through red tape and win contracts in nations with insufficient monitoring mechanisms. Corruption is pandemic, and nations everywhere need to address the threat it poses. To put an end to corruption, the people should exercise sovereignty and call for constitutional reform to implement democratic rule of law. This means separation of powers and checks and balances as well as free election campaigns for candidates to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption.

'Bittersweet' Ramadan for Rohingya Muslims forced to flee homes in Myanmar

The Independent

Solution

The Rohingya have suffered tremendously at the hands of Myanmar's military, and the people of the nation need to call for constitutional reform to limit the power of the military and ensure the rights of all people, especially minority groups. One urgently needed change is the military's automatic occupation of seats in the nation's Parliament without the need to participate in election campaigns.

Russia interfered in US election to help Donald Trump, Senate investigation concludes

The Independent

Solution

Russia has never been a problem-solver, it has always been a trouble-maker, and its public pronouncements must always be taken with a grain of salt. The US should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization, pressing Russia in turn to accept real democracy – and world peace would be the result.

North Korea Denounces Bolton, Threatens to Walk Away from Trump Summit

The Daily Beast

Solution

The dangers of counting your chickens before they're hatched. North Korea is obviously being backed by a major power. The US and other nations should support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize, forcing North Korea to follow suit and drop its nuclear weapons program. China claims to be a 'responsible major power', thus it should not enable North Korea's continued militarism.

What Democracies Can Learn From Malaysia

Solution

True democracy means that the people elect their leaders, and if they prove to be ineffective or hostile to the public interest, the people have the right to remove them from office. The results of voting in Malaysia show that the people are aware of their sovereignty, and they are voicing their opinions at the ballot box. This is democracy at work, and it is the reason all nations need to support the drive for constitutional reform to introduce true democratic values and systems into countries all over the world.

Kremlin Critics Could Face Prosecution for 'Enabling' Western Sanctions

Radio Free Europe

Solution

Free speech is a universal value, and all democracies should call for constitutional reform to ensure media freedom and prevent governments and oligarchies from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications. Every citizen has the right to criticize government actions that are contrary to human rights and natural law. In addition, 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.

House Speaker Paul Ryan moves to stop Republican revolt on immigration

Solution

The best policy on immigration is adhering to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and working toward a common destiny for humankind. To eliminate the conditions that create refugees, the international community needs to agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This means adopting the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and complying with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter, which deals with the right of each person to live a normal life.
