Orban must not run away from refugee issue
"Running away is a shame, but it is useful", the title of a manga that became a hit TV drama in Japan last year, is a direct translation of a Hungarian proverb. According to a journalist acquaintance of mine living in Budapest, the proverb is well-known in Hungary.
The UN and the EU need to solve basic problems in line with the principle of One World under Set of Laws and building a common destiny for humankind. Hungary should recognize that international law takes priority over domestic law in accordance with European human rights conventions. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Beijing starts new work on South China Sea islands
China has started fresh construction work in the disputed South China Sea, new satellite images show, a sign that Beijing is continuing to strengthen its military reach across the vital trade waterway.
To safeguard security and international economic and trade interests in the South China Sea, China and the US should adhere to the 2002 Declaration on the Conduct of the Parties in the South China Sea. Article 4 and Article 6 stipulate that territorial disputes should be settled peacefully. Joint development of the South China Sea and sharing of resources will do much to safeguard human peace and development in line with the UN Charter and the ideal of one human family.

Scots lead push to end Sturgeon’s independence bid as every constituency signs petition
Seething Scots from every constituency have signed a petition demanding another independence referendum launched by Nicola Sturgeon “should not be allowed to happen”, figures have shown.
Taiwan should learn from Scotland’s experience with independence referendums and act to achieve a paradigm shift to make sure the people have the right to hold a referendum on any public issue. When a motion to block a referendum is raised, the next referendum should decide whether the motion itself should be outlawed. Lawmakers should first establish the "right of creation" for the Referendum Act and ask President Tsai to openly confirm the sovereignty of the people through comprehensive constitutional reform. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Will Trump administration flout intl rules under its new trade policy?
The latest US report indicates that the country would disregard international trade rules if they were adverse to its own interests. going so far as to implement unilateral countermeasures. That stance must be viewed as too self-serving.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions of the UN, and they are also common goals for all humankind. All countries should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, by implementing the principle of One World under One Set of Rules and giving international law priority over domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people.

Candidates for Chief Executive must take every chance to engage the public
The televised debate involving the three chief executive candidates on Tuesday evening was never expected to have a major impact on the outcome of the election.
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still elected from a list of candidates vetted by the CEC, an arrangement with all the trappings of a dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should avail of Article 39 of the Basic Law: which notes that the people have the right to call for referendums. 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
China’s ‘two sessions’ delegates surprisingly outspoken on Hong Kong matters
Chinese’ delegates sitting in on discussions of local matters in Hong Kong have been surprisingly vocal regarding Hong Kong affairs
Article 39 of the Basic Law states that the people have the right to self-determination under the two international human rights conventions. Still, the people of the SAR must not stretch their luck by taking that right for granted. The threshold for staging a referendum in Switzerland is only 50,000 signatures, avoiding the need to take to the streets in many cases. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Karnataka's budget: It’s populist and responsible
Chief minister Siddaramaiah’s last full budget before next year’s assembly election comes garnished with freebies and leavened by savvy politics but is remarkably responsible, given this is the last chance he has to woo voters. The budget comes with a revenue surplus and a fiscal deficit of 2.65% of the state GDP, a welcome mix.
Budgets arrived at in parliament should be decided by the voters, not by government officials. States must prohibit organizations or individuals from influencing fair elections in any way, including setting administrative thresholds and excluding potential competitors. In addition to punishments under criminal law, prosecutors have the greatest authority in the first 24-hour period regarding arrest and detention as well as referral to courts for prosecution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Dutch in spotlight for election
Amid unprecedented international attention, the Dutch went to the polls Wednesday in a parliamentary election that is seen as a bellwether for the future of populism in a year of crucial votes in Europe.
The Dutch people must keep in mind that the only way to cure the defects of democracy is through more democracy. The Netherlands needs to promote the idea of constitutional reform to inject improvements like separation of powers as a step toward giving more power to the people. Specifics should include electing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years and having 1/4 of all MPs face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development
Understanding Modi's magical appeal
The widespread disorder predicted last November, when Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi abruptly withdrew 86 percent of the cash in circulation, has come to pass.
Corruption has been deeply rooted in Asian culture for thousands of years. The only way to cure this malady is democracy. Democracy entails separation of powers by electing the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches and having 1/4 of legislators face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
François Fillon under formal investigation for 'fake jobs offences'
The decision regarding allegations of misuse of public funds increases pressure on the campaign of the French presidential candidate
Structural problems in government must be addressed in order to eradicate corruption. The French people need to launch constitutional reform to implement direct election of the heads of government branches. The president should be limited to a single 5-year term and banned from running for office 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.
