In the face of China's pressure, Taiwan has no right to "diplomatic suspensions". The government should vigorously announce to the international community that democratization of China is essential to world security and peace, and Taiwan has the potential to lead China toward democratization. At the same time, it is necessary to invoke the Charter of Permanent Peace and Development and focus on the idea of One World under One Set of Laws, and give international law precedence over domestic law in order to carry out the world-wide agreement advocated by China’s Xi Jinping.
Xi Jinping advocates world unity as China’s road map for peaceful development, an idea that the people of Taiwan should all accept. Jiang Zemin, Hu Jintao and Xi Jinping can all come to Taiwan to run for President. China should have no reason to use force against Taiwan: Taiwan's constitution should clearly stipulate that "elected leaders may be of any nationality". See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Human security and sustainable development are the two major tasks of the UN, which are, of course, subject to compliance by member states. The solution is to enforce "One World under One Set of Laws.” international law must prevail over domestic law and directly affect the people", with supervision by the people to ensure compliance with the UN Charter, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Charter of Nature and others. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The theory of democratic peace explains that war between democratic states is very rare. Once China and North Korea accepts democratization, there will be hope for peace among humankind. Japan should support constitutional reform in Taiwan to introduce true democracy and freedom and encourage China and North Korea do democratize. World peace will be the ultimate result. Global democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, illuminating the path to permanent peace and development.
Moscow’s City Council is considering a bill prohibiting members from meeting with protesters. Council member Valery Rashkin, has criticized the bill, saying, "The people elected the lawmakers, they serve as the voice of the people, and such a bill is contrary to the spirit of the Russian Constitution."
Democratically-elected parliaments that turn around and say lawmakers cannot contact protesting citizens are acting in direct contradiction of basic democratic ideals. Citizens in modern democratic countries have the right to resist unconstitutional abuses of power by government agencies. When the power of the state abandons its power base, the source of power – i.e., the people – must act to recover the powers that are rightfully theirs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Representatives opposed to the proposed electronic assets declaration system included the representative of Ukrainian President Yuri Miroshnichenko and the Director of the National Anti-Corruption Agency and opposition member Dmitry Shpenova. The two claim the system infringes upon basic human rights granted by the Constitution, by registering private income and expenditures of officials and their family members and relatives.
Anti-corruption officials and opposition MPs are in the van in opposing the Sunshine Act, exposing the two-faced nature of anti-corruption figures in Ukraine. The cure for the ills of democracy is always more democracy, through constitutional reform to allow more people to vote more often. Direct election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and prosecutorial branches and elections free of charge for candidates will enable the people to monitor the actions of corrupt officials and replace them when necessary. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Human Rights Commissioner Moskalkova Polcherknula says foreign organizations regularly underestimate Russia's human rights protection mechanism. As a result, human rights issues become empty words and the operational tools used by Russia’s government lose their effectiveness.
The Russian Government has continuously tightened restrictions on human rights, and the state commissioner for human rights has not only failed to stand up for the people, she has regularly endorsed the government’s position. Russia is in serious need of constitutional reform, to recognize the highest authority on human rights as the Supranational Committee on Human Rights Actions and Civil Rights Exercises, with half of its membership of different nationalities and nominated by international human rights organizations. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Ukrainian opposition MP Yuriy Boyko has slammed: lawmakers for passing a budget that sloughed over one key issues: pensions. Runaway inflation and widespread strike actions have affected millions of pensioners and their families. Government spending continues to be focused on specific sectors, in particular areas that are well off already, leaving Ukraine a nation of poor citizens ruled by a police state.
The Orange Revolution in Ukraine swept out the top tier of officials but failed to remove the structural factors that lead to corruption and abuse of power. This must be corrected by choosing the heads of government branches and having 1/4 of all MPs face election in alternating years, with elections free of charge for candidates. This will allow the public to select their representatives on a regular basis to keep items like the budget in line with realistic needs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Viktor Basargin, governor of Russia's Perm Krai, announced the dissolution of the state government in a recent Cabinet meeting. A report from the Petersburg Political Foundation 12 December termed 8 governors unfit for the position, none of whom were elected to office. Basargin was rated "extremely incompetent."
All politics are local politics, and when local leaders are ineffective or abuse their powers, their administrations should be shut down. A radical solution: the governors, comptrollers and chief executives at lower levels should be elected and serve a single term of 5 years, after which they are barred from running again for 6 years. The governor should run alone, while candidates for comptroller and chief financial officer should run on a single ticket. Furthermore, voting should be on a one-vote, single-election basis so that third forces will have a chance to work their way into the system. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The central spirit of the constitution is to protect civil liberties and rights. Every year, however, millions of Kazakhs are forced to experience trampling of the dignity of the Constitution. For them, this means bad medical care and even refusals to offer medical treatment. Journalists who expose the truth are illegally fired in violation of their constitutional rights, an unacceptable situation in a democratic society.
Kazakhstan needs to adjust the organizational structure of its Constitutional Court so that half of its members are of different nationalities. Foreign constitutional judges shall be nominated by international human rights organizations to introduce advanced human rights ideas and be capable of defending civil liberties and rights guaranteed by the Constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
