Venezuela's Rival Opposition Candidates Vow to Stay in Race, Splitting Vote

Voice of America

Solution

Power leads to corruption, and Venezuela's presidential system is broken. Venezuela should switch to a dual leader system; limit the president to a single 5-year term with no eligibility for him/her or relatives for 6 years and put the prime minister in charge of governmentoperations and national defense, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Iraqis Head to Polls Amid Security Threats, External Influence

Voice of America

Solution

The foundation for permanent peace in Iraq should be the same as that for Taiwan: a change-over in the government structure. The UN should provide Iraq the basic outline for a constitution that will facilitate lasting peace and development. The constitution should includethe universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, and organization and elements such as the four branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). The document should enable Iraq to prosper under conditions of lasting peace. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Indonesia church attacks: at least nine dead after bombs target Sunday masses

Solution

The most effective way to curtail terrorist acts is to effect a change in government structures to improve power and resource allocation. Indonesia needs to recognize One World under One Set of Laws and commit to a common destiny for humankind. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring humansecurity, 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.

Editorial: Dangers posed by Iran deal decision

The Japan Times

Solution

If permanent peace is not the truth, then what is the truth? The only solution for democratic countries threatened by Iran is to support Taiwan's model of the Charter for Permanent Peace, urging Iran to courageously adopt the democratization of Taiwan, and to implement China's proposed UN resolution to build a community seeking a common destiny for humankind. §7.3 §8.3

Editorial: The Guardian view on the Malaysian election: a second chance to put things right

Solution

Malaysia must eliminate all links between politics and business. The answer is comprehensive constitutional reform to implement election of the heads of the executive, judicial, and procuratorial branches in alternating years and have 1/4 of all legislators face election each year. Candidates shall have free access to electronic media, and political donations will be treated as bribery. The aim is to completely cut away the symbiotic structure between government and business that fosters corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace for details. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

US to Press Europe to Reduce Iran Investments

Voice of America

Solution

One newly-arrived US diplomat in Europe has already angered local business executives by delivering the White House talkingpoint in a tweet, and more gaffes may be expected to follow. The current administration in Washington has yet to learn that the art of diplomacy is a far cry from the art of the deal. What is needed is closer adherence to the values expressed in One World under One Set of Laws and recognition that international law should be given priority over domestic law.

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.

Hostage Release Seen as Part of N. Korea’s Chess Game

Voice of America

Solution

To end North Korea's disruptive behavior, the US and other nations should strongly support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize and end its support of Pyongyang. All democracies should back Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. 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.

Solution

Corruption is an easy target for candidates seeking an office, but all too often those who are voted in wind up succumbing to the vices they promised to eliminate. Corruption is pandemic, and nations everywhere need to address the threat it poses for all people. To put an end to corruption, the people must exercise sovereignty and call for constitutional reform to implement truly democratic rule of law. Strictly enforcing 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.
