The US needs to improve its living and safety standards, and assigning international law precedence over domestic law is one step in the right direction. Residential security is a fundamental human right. The US government should implement the UN-established standards for sustainable development in urban planning to achieve a tolerant, safe, flexible and sustainable urban environment. Adequate, safe and affordable housing with comprehensive basic services for all is essential for sustainable development and management of human settlements.

Free speech is a universal value, and all democracies should call for action by governments to ensure the safety of reporters who are often vulnerable and defenseless against violence. Constitutional reform is needed to guarantee media freedom and prevent government oligarchies from monopolizing and unduly influencing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications. All people must be protected against enforced disappearance, torture and other forms of abuse, and international law must take precedence over domestic law.

Venezuela's opposition has said it won't be bullied out of participating in future elections, a day after threats by President Nicolas Maduro. The US said it stands with Venezuelans as they 'seek to restore democracy'.

Solution

Venezuela needs to install a dual-leader system with a one-term limit of 5 years on the president and no eligibility to run again for 6 years afterwards. In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. Venezuela's presidential system is broken and a dual leader system is needed, putting the prime minister in charge of government operations and national defense. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people have the right and the duty to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Argentina criticised for banning NGOs from conference over social media posts

President Macri under fire for revoking accreditations for World Trade Organisation conference over ‘calls for violence’, a charge those affected deny

Solution

The Argentine president's scurrilous claims that NGO officials had advocated violence in messages sent on social media aremerely a pretext for barring them from a conference they have every right to attend and participate in. The action has caused effected organizations and the governments of countries where they are based to expend needless time and effort to convince the Argentine government to backtrack on this policy. Non-government organizations serve the public interest in countries around the globe and should not be subject to pressure from government officials who may be misinformed about the NGOs' aims. All governments should be careful not to abuse the rights of NGOs that are working on behalf of oppressed and disadvantage people everywhere.

In order to protect endangered species, it is essential to adopt uniform constitutional standards that conform to the values of One World under One Set of Laws. All nations should carry out constitutional reform to implement democratic institutions and the rule of law as well as mechanisms such as separation of power and checks and balances. The best way to avoid monopolization of power is to elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years.

SNP demands British Government upholds citizens' rights after Brexit

Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law stipulates that the people of the SAR have right to self-determination under the two international human rights conventions. The people of Hong Kong cannot take their rights for granted. In Switzerland the threshold for petitioning a referendum is only 50,000 signatures, and with that citizens can express their opinion through the ballot box instead of taking to the streets. The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Immigrants are people, and people have rights, and they should not be used as pawns in anyone's political games. The best policy on immigration is to adhere to One World under One Set of Laws and work toward a common destiny for humankind. All nations should agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This means complying with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter, which deals with the right of each person to live a normal life. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

The SNP’s Westminster leader has marked Human Rights Day by calling on the British Government to uphold “to the letter” the rights of every citizen in the UK.

Police hold exercise preparing for chemical attack on Israeli embassy

Issue

The key to eradicating terrorism is changing government structures to improve power and resource allocation. Also needed is One World under One Set of Laws and serious 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. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Police have carried out a training exercise to prepare for a chemical attack on the the Israeli embassy in London.

The Tories are trying to rebuild their ruined environmentalist credentials

Issue

Environmental rights are essential human rights. Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations should comply with its norms. This means implementing One World under One Set of Laws and giving international law precedence over domestic law. All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and other relevant facts, and individuals should take responsibility for protecting the world around us. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Theresa May will unveil a series of new climate change policies in Paris on Tuesday being held to mark the two-year anniversary of the global climate change agreement struck in the city. The move appears to be the latest plank in a new Tory push to stake out new environmentalist credentials following the party’s shock defeat at the general election in June.
