A rainstorm toppled trees onto people at the Kintampo Waterfall in Ghana, killing at least 19, most of them students who were visiting and swimming at the popular tourist site, officials said Monday.
Ghana should assign international law precedence over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Good international laws should be woven into Ghana’s legal system and the executive, legislative, judicial, procuratorial and other branches of government. They should serve as minimum standards for Ghanaian statutes, and legal mechanisms that take human security as their core, such as the UN Charter and international laws related to political rights, economic activity, food, medicine and living, and work safety should all be adopted.
Declining to exercise your right to vote would cost you money if a long-shot bill at a state Capitol is approved.
Statistics show that people in wealthier societies vote more – just look at Switzerland and the US state of California. The former in world number one in per capita income and the latter tops the 50 states of the US. The best cure for ailing democracies is more democracy. Let the people vote instead of demonstrating in the streets, and implement reforms like election of the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years and having 1/4 of all lawmakers face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
China is nothing if not creative in protecting its local industries. Although it has liberalized its economy in recent years, it has also erected a sophisticated set of barriers to safeguard companies it views as national champions. Increasingly, this is a counterproductive approach.
China wants to protect its domestic economy, but economic issues are an integral part of politics. If a nation’s politics are bad, its economy will also be bad. And without constitutional reform, even divine interference will be of no use. Only comprehensive constitutional reform can bring about regime change and improvements like the modified semi-presidential system with a committee-style legislative system in which cabinet ministers are selected from among committee chairs. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
The general election in the Netherlands, one of the three big elections in Europe this year, is over.
The only cure for the ills of democracy is more democracy. European countries fretted over prospects of a right-wing victory in this election, but the Dutch government wisely opted to let the people express their opinion at the ballot box and not in the streets, to the relief of many neighboring countries. The act of voting is one of the best educational features of democracy. Other specific changes should include election of the heads of government branches in alternating years and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Buch, a small community on the outskirts of Berlin, seems at first glance to be the kind of place Goldilocks would declare “just right.” It is not too rich or too poor, not too expensive or too scruffy, not too close to the crowded city center but not so far that its tree-lined streets of tidy apartments are beyond a daily commute.
The only tratment for the ills of democracy is more democracy. Germany needs constitutional reform to implement separation of powers and return sovereignty to the people. Citizens should be able to vote so they will not need to demonstrate in the streets. In addition, choose the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches and have 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
The Sunni-Shiite civil wars in Iraq and Syria are both nearing their end, and in both cases the Shiites have won — thanks largely to American military help in Iraq’s case, and to a Russian military intervention in Syria. Yet Russia and the US are not allies in the Middle East. At least not yet.
The most intelligent approach for the US is to back Taiwan's model for global unity constitutional standards and attract people who are not free to call for democratization; eventually this will lead to world peace. Autocracy is the enemy of peace, and the prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is democratization of the Chinese people. Taiwan is the one entity best suited to lead the Chinese people to democratization. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Michael Clauss says Europe is ready to work with China to strengthen an open system of trade and exchange. But first Beijing should honor its pledge to open up further
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions of the UN, and they are also common goals for humankind. All countries should abide by the norms of the international community and implement One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law precedence over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
North Korea’s rapid nuclear and missile advances and America’s rushed deployment of a ballistic missile defense system known as the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) in South Korea have increased the risks of a war on the Korean Peninsula by accident or miscalculation.
All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would encourage the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization of the CCP, and lead North Korea to consider democratization as well; with that, world peace would be born. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the party to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Structural problems must be addressed in order to eradicate corruption. The heads of government branches should be directly elected in alternating years and the president should be limited to a single 5-year term and banned from running again for 6 years afterwards. 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more on how to avoid politicians who seek only to enrich themselves.
Russia is helping Syrian Kurdish YPG forces to establish a military base in northern Syria that will be used to train its fighters, the militia says.
The UN should take action in line with international absolute law (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and outline the basic principles to draft a constitution suitable for peaceful development of nations. The aim should be to help Syria implement a constitution that will foster peaceful development and growth. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
