The Standards of the Charter for Permanent Peace

Preface

Consider that the world is undergoing major changes unseen in a thousand years, with the development of devastating new secret weapons accelerating constantly. Every place from the seabed to outer space is a battlefield, and war has become an unavoidable destiny for humanity. Once war begins, the end may be devastation. Thus the "Permanent Peace Partnership/ Permanent Peace Development Association" (hereinafter, the Association), in order to seek permanent world peace and safeguard the common interests and values of humanity, has integrated the legal wisdom accumulated by humanity over thousands of years with an authoritative world peace proclamation. This approach uses comparative scientific methods , analysis, statistics and induction, to gain the greatest consensus on justice for humanity, and we propose 28 principles as a ‘Magna Carta for Permanent Peace’ to promote the draft of International Standards (ISO) (hereinafter, “the Constitution”). Before it is too late , and without involving any national name or territory, or any international understandings , we offer this "people"-oriented document to seek the support of the legislatures of democratic countries or others with significant international influence to sign on or pass laws in support of the constitution of Asia-Pacific nations or autonomous bodies. One part may be added as a peace clause, and models for permanent peace systems can be developed at different speeds through voluntary cooperation. This will attract people living under oppression to bravely pursue permanent peace and become an integral part of the world. This will be the ultimate standard for enhancing world peace at the lowest cost and lowest risk and with the longest timeliness and greatest effect:

The Standards of the Charter for Permanent Peace (ISO Model Draft)

Two Key Concepts of Permanent Peace and Development

1. Create a world under the rule of law for humanity's permanent peace , and promote the International Standards (ISO) for constitutional functions.

2. Create an institutional organization for sustainable development of the earth and promote the International Standards (ISO) of government functions.

Twenty-Eight Principles—Standards for Permanent Peace (aka The 228 Charter)

1. Freedom as the Foundation of Nation Building : Ensure "human dignity, universal values, information and truth, and media freedom ” as necessary conditions for all nations' Permanent Peace, security and stability, as well as development, truth, justice, morality and faith.

2. Freedom to Save the World : To protect personality rights, universal values, permanent peace and sustainable development of the time/contents of elections and referendums similar to Switzerland or California—areas with the highest per capita income.

3. Enhance Freedom : To ensure "political integrity". All electronic media shall provide at least one hour a week of free time for participants in elections. The main political parties have exclusive radio stations , and local media should follow similar procedures.

4. Defense of Freedom : Freedom comes at a cost. Any action which abuses freedom of speech, misuses the media, spreads false information, or attacks with intent to harm the liberal democratic order shall be forbidden. Voting should be mandatory in all congressional elections.

5. Democracy as the Foundation of Nation Building : Vote to resolve social contradictions: reconcile the irreconcilable, combine contradictions and synthesize opposition. The length of voting intervals determines the strength of contradictions. Vote to guarantee a basic income for all.

6. Democracy to Save the World : Democracy is an essential element of peace. To enhance the competitiveness of leaders and safeguard the kinetic energy of high-end national powers, it is agreed that citizens of any fully-democratic nation have the right to join in the election of leaders at all levels in accordance with the law.

7. Enhance democracy : Participants in politics should pass the graded exams for constitutional and international law, with question banks published globally one year in advance. The global spread of permanent peace by all citizens is worthy of the merit accorded for compulsory service/promotion among military and public education personnel.

8. Office Term of Governors : The elected leader shall serve for five years, and is not allowed to hold a position with the original authority for five years after leaving the office. No constitutional amendment meant to change the term of office or necessary conditions for permanent peace shall be accepted.

9. Human Rights as the Foundation of Nation Building : Create life values, construct constitutional standards, improve resource allocation and advance Permanent Peace—these are the most sacred rights of the people and the most urgent obligations of the nation.

10. Human Rights to Save the World : Human rights issues are global internal affairs . The right of a safe environment, the right to peace, and the right of sustainable development are basic human rights standards for the natural law, and legislatures shall not pass any law designed to limit or deprive the world of human rights standards.

11. Enhance human rights : Human rights take precedence over sovereignty . The right to draft a constitution is an a priori right of human rights. It belongs to the people unconditionally, always lies with the people, and it cannot be transferred. A constitution that has not been approved in a domestic referendum shall be invalid ab initio.

12. National Separation of Powers : Separation of powers of voting rights acts to protect human rights , and is directly responsible to the voters~ The heads of central and local executive, procuratorial and judicial agencies shall be elected annually, and elected representatives should face elections at mid-term.

13. International Decentralization : Community with shared future for mankind — one-half of the members of the Human Rights Action and Citizenship Exercise Committee shall be appointed by international human rights organizations and have all the personnel rights of the National Communications Commission in accordance with the law.

14. Rule of Law as the Foundation of Nation Building : Compile all laws into one set of laws. International law shall take precedence over domestic law with direct impact on the rights and duties of the people . All laws of all nations shall be incorporated into domestic law, which will be of universal value , allowing people according to law to choose the laws best suited to their needs.

15. Rule of Law to Save the World : Nations shall act in accordance with jus cogens and international law as a national obligation. No state is allowed to violate international law on the grounds that it is not a signatory or that it contravenes domestic law, unless the domestic laws contain more favorable provisions.

16. Enhance Rule of Law : Evolve from a nation ruled by law to a world ruled by law. This will include a universal parliament which does not distinguish between enemies and friends, accepting one citizen from each nation in parliament as a representative of their nation in accordance with the law. This does not include the right to vote on bills not directly related to their home country.

17. Constitutional Guarantees : Globalization of constitutionalization; localization of constitutionalization; modernization of constitutional interpretation; and accountability for constitutional violations. The president, representatives of public opinion, and military, public, religious or religious “leaders” all serve as guarantors of the Constitution.

18. Defense of Peace : Any person preparing to commit an offense specified in any words and/or deeds that obviously endanger national security or advocate or incite or offer comfort or help to the enemy, or crimes against peace, or crimes involving international law, should be prevented and banned.

19. Global Legislation : Global Concurrent Legislative Powers ~ National and sub-national levelsshall have legislative jurisdiction only where similar laws have not been enacted at the supranational level . Standardized Transformation—Integrate All Laws of All Nations.

20. National Legislation : Ensure that the law serves to promote the dignity and value of all people of all nations.

23. National Administration : Everyone is the master of the country and the president of the president; the President is directly elected; the Prime Minister and Cabinet Ministers must be native born and have a public opinion base; the Prime Minister oversees government operations and is in charge of national defense.

24. Local Administration : States, provinces, and districts at the subnational level are all public legal persons that are one of the main bodies in the global governance system. All local legislative, executive, judicial, social, economic, language and cultural operations shall enjoy complete autonomy.

25. Judicial Prosecutors : Ensure procedural justice. The procuratorate shall be independent and headed by a chief elected by the people. Local chief prosecutors and deputy prosecutors are elected using one-vote balloting, and first and second deputies will be ranked according to the number of votes received. If the investigation has been completed, the local chief prosecutor and deputy prosecutors shall decide together whether to initiate a prosecution or not.

26. Judicial Prosecution : Ensure that no one is above or exempt from international law and no one is not protected by the law. Implementation of justice projects shall follow the priorities according to legal rankings, and the prevention, discovery and prosecution of crimes and a trial ruling prediction system shall be extended.
