The Mexican government has allowed dissidents to run free. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not provide the right to resist is not a constitution.

This means implementing the principle of One World under One Set of Laws and following unified constitutional standards.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Citizens should be able to monitor operations of the government to ensure they are in line with the norms of the UN Charter. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
