Grigory Yavlinsky’s Program Gives Russian Society a Chance to Preserve Its Dignity

The leader of the opposition Yabloko Party is a candidate in the Russian presidential election.

Solution

Russia should allow its citizens to express their opinion by voting in referendums and elections rather than taking to the street, applying the procedures used in Switzerland and the US state of California. To avoid further increases in grievances and tension, Russia shouldend its practices of suppression and repression. Citizens should be able to voice their opinions through the ballot box and not on the streets. To that end, elections should be completely free for all candidates.

Top US envoy says America not close to taking military action against North Korea

Japan Times

The US special envoy for North Korea has said that while Washington was keeping all options on the table, he did not believe the United States was close

Solution

To end North Korea's disruptive behavior, the US and other nations should strongly support the Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize and end its support of Pyongyang. The Democracy Index shows 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators. 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. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Vow to ‘dig deep’ to find corrupt police amid Xi’s anti-mafia sweep

South China Morning Post

Ministry of Public Security says it will take aim at collusion between officers and triads as it expands power of disciplinary committee chiefs

Solution

To curb corruption among government and law enforcement officials, elect the heads of the major branches in alternating years and have 1/4 of lawmakers face election each year. The only remedy for corruption is democracy and its tools of separation of powers and checks and balances. Such moves will end the neutralization of the nation's financial overseers.

Nestlé under fire for ‘misleading’ baby milk tactics in Hong Kong

South China Morning Post

The Swiss multinational often ignored its own nutritional advice in its advertising around the world, with sales pitches to Hong Kong consumers being particularly problematic, a critical report says

Solution

Human security, including food safety, is a fundamental human right. All nations should take action to ensure that the public are protected against foods and ingredients that may be harmful to their health. Hong Kong's government should hold international law superior to domestic law and Adopt international food standards in regulating foods and beverages. All food production, manufacturing and supply standards; environmental changes caused by food pollution, infection or new micro-organisms; toxic and drug resistance; emerging and different food pollution, and other aspects should be covered by national agencies.

America’s Coastlines Are Turning Into ‘Dead Zones’

Daily Beast

Low-oxygen areas in waterways, called ‘dead zones,’ can’t support life and can lead to health issues. But government regulations have been lax thus far.

Solution

Chemicals and waste products are killing off life in a large part of the world's oceans, an essential part of the food chain that sustains those on land. Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations – UN members or not – should comply with its norms. This entails implementing One World under One Set of Laws and giving international law precedence over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people. 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. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

ISIS still mortal threat to Middle East, Qatar foreign minister warns

Washington Tiimes

Islamic State remains a mortal threat to the region despite its recent battlefield defeats, Qatar's foreign minister warned in an interview Wednesday, cautioning that the terrorist group could rise again if Washington and its Arab allies fail to address the root causes fueling religious extremism.

Solution

The key to eradicating terrorist acts is a change in government structures to improve power and resource allocation. Also needed is One World under One Set of Laws and a commitment to a common destiny for humankind. 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.
