The presidential system is the worst of the four main types of democracy. But no matter what system a nation may have, the greater the amount of power in the hands of the president, the more the nation is likely to have problems. Turkey is in dire need of constitutional reform. The president should be limited to one 5-year term of office, with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards. Turkey’s president is in violation of Article 6 of the Constitution: sovereignty lies wholly and unconditionally in the hands of the people. No state or sovereign has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The Ukrainian color revolution accomplished many things but did not remove structural factors enabling corruption. The people should act as holders of sovereignty and do the following: 1. Break the closed system of government and bring in the right people; 2. Open up government positions and invite the world elite to take part; 3. Implement One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law; 4. Elect the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and make elections free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Human rights continue to deteriorate in Hungary, largely because its president’s presence in office is arbitrary and unconstitutional. The UN should assist Hungarians in carrying out constitutional reform to solve human rights questions in Hungary. This should include One World under One Set of Laws, stipulating that international law takes precedence over domestic law. At the same time, a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet should be implemented. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Kenya’s constitution is dysfunctional and corruption is widespread in government. The remedy for ailing democracy is handing responsibility for the government over to voters. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years; 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year; the president should be limited to a single 5-year term and not allowed to run again for 6 years afterwards; and elections should be free of charge for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

South Sudan’s constitution is in disarray and needs to be reformed. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years. A modified semi-presidential system with cabinet should be installed, with one 5-year term for the president and no eligibility for him/her or close relatives for 6 years afterwards. Local councilors should serve two year terms, with the speaker limited to one term; 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year; and elections should be completely free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Autocracy and dictatorship are cancers, and despots regularly violate the democratic rights of the people. The solution for this persecution in China is democracy and rule of law. Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead China to democratization. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform and implement One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law priority over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Japan should back Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would convince China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and put pressure on North Korea to adopt real democracy. The result would be the birth of world peace. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

To solve the problems of immigration and refugees, all nations need to arrive at a uniform constitutional standard that conforms to the ideas of liberalism, democracy, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism. It should adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and facilitate the idea of lasting peace in compliance with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter on the principle of the right to life of victims of disasters and conflicts. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

No matter who sits on the throne, absolute power corrupts absolutely, Gambia's Yahya Jammeh is just the tip of the iceberg. To end corruption, the people should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement democracy and rule of law, with separation of powers and checks and balances, and election of the heads of the main government branches in alternating years. Also, elections should be free of charge to candidates to cut the symbiotic ties between government and corruption.

The presidential system is the worst variety of democracy to be found. But no matter what system a nation may have, the greater the amount of power held by the president, the more the country is likely to have problems. Turkey needs constitutional reform badly. The president should be limited to one 5-year term of office, with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards. Turkey’s president is in violation of Article 6 of the Constitution: sovereignty lies wholly and unconditionally in the hands of the people. No state or sovereign has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
