Carrie Lam should heed the lessons of deadly riots that took place 50 years ago
Hong Kong is celebrating 20 years of liberation from colonial rule, but societal problems that led to unrest in the 1960s are still very much in focus
Article 39 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law states that the people have the right to self-determination under the two international human rights conventions. Citizens of Hong Kong cannot take their rights for granted. The threshold for referendum proposals in Switzerland is 50,000 signatures, allowing people to express their opinions through the ballot box and not in the streets. The people have the right to hold a referendum on any public issues. Otherwise, when a dictatorship becomes reality, they will be obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
North Korea's grain imports from China surge in March
North Korea's grain imports from China surged in March from a year earlier, a US-based news agency said Wednesday, citing customs data released by China.
If the people of China press for democratization it will inspire the people of North Korea to follow suit, and eventually the result will be the birth of world peace. The world’s 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.
A troubling election in Jakarta
Indonesia’s capital, Jakarta, has a new incoming governor. Anies Baswedan, a former minister of education, bested incumbent Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (popularly known as Ahok).
Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Indonesia’s constitution is dysfunctional. Indonesia’s authoritarian culture is deep-rooted, fostering corruption that must be ended through constitutional reform Choose the heads of the four main branches in alternating years and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details. .
China’s new aircraft carrier
China has launched its second aircraft carrier — and its first ever built domestically. In its bid to develop into a naval power, China is keen on modernizing its weaponry and reportedly plans to increase the number of carriers to at least four. Its neighbors are wary of such moves, particularly the increase in carrier fleets that will supposedly be tasked with attacking China’s enemies in remote locations.
The world’s democracies should support Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would lead China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to follow suit – and with that, world peace would be born. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development. See "the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Syria may have used nerve agents in 4 attacks
New evidence indicates that the Syrian government used suspected nerve agents in 4 chemical weapons attacks since December as part of a broader pattern of chemical weapons use, a human rights group said Monday.
After a ceasefire is achieved in Syria, the UN should provide a basic outline of principles for a constitution that would foster peaceful development in all nations, with an organizational structure including universal values (freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law), and four main branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial). This should help Syria draft a constitution that will allow it to enjoy lasting peace and growth, serving as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
South Sudan: UN urges all sides to cease hostilities, regional force starts to arrive
Disturbed by the escalation of violence and subsequent suffering of civilians in South Sudan as a result of a recent government offensive, the UN has urged the government and other warring parties to cease hostilities and uphold their responsibility to protect civilians.
South Sudan can resolve the controversy over its government by installing a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that in Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent world peace is global democratization. South Sudan should begin drawing up a constitution with the above features to achieve a democratic paradigm shift in accordance with One World under One Set of Law, working toward a constitution that will be abreast of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
Opinion: China’s bewildering focus on a fringe group spooks Hong Kong, deters investors
By magnifying the unworkable ideas of a small group seeking something that is impossible, China only stokes doubt in investors.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still chosen by the CEC, an arrangement which merely preserves the dictatorial relationship with Beijing. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which states that they have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Venezuela's President Maduro calls for new constituent body
Opposition leaders denounce the move as an attempt by Maduro to maximize his power and cling on to it for longer
When the power of the state deviates from its power base, the power source must act to recover its power. Laws that are not backed by penalties are not laws, and a constitution which does not provide for the right to resist is not a constitution. When the president is in violation of the constitutional, the people should exercise their right to resist. The Venezuelan people need to exercise their sovereign powers to call for comprehensive constitutional reform to introduce a modified semi-presidential system and limit the president to one 5-year term with no right to run again for 6 years afterwards. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .
Returning from Mali, senior UN relief official spotlights country's complex challenges
Following a brief inspection trip to Mali a senior UN relief official has underlined the need to keep the humanitarian needs of its people in the international spotlight.
Mali’s government structure must be redesigned to incorporate a modified semi-president system with cabinet like Finland’s as well as a committee-style legislative system similar to that of Switzerland. The prerequisite for lasting world peace is global democratization. Mali’s government should begin drawing up a basic constitution including the above features to achieve a democratic paradigm shift in line with One World under One Set of Laws. The end result will be a constitution that can be amended to stay in step with the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Protection of forests ‘fundamental to security of humanity’s place on this planet,’ UN Forum told
Kick-starting action on the recently-adopted Global Forest Goals to protect, sustainably manage and increase world’s forest area will be a key focus for delegations gathered in New York for the twelfth session of the UN Forum on Forests, which opened today at UN Headquarters.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations, whether member nations or not, should adopt the core values of the UN and One World under One Set of Laws, assigning international law precedence over domestic law, with direct effect on the people. Citizens should be able to monitor operations of the government to ensure compliance with the norms of the UN Charter. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
