Myanmar's human rights problem continues to fester, largely because the constitution guarantees the military 40% of seats in Congress with no need to stand for election. In order to protect human rights, Myanmar should carry out reform to adopt Global Unity Constitutional Standards, and the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law precedence over domestic law. At the same time, it should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. 

The American people should exercise their sovereign rights and call for constitutional reform to implement more democratic rule of law. This means strictly observing separation of powers as well as checks and balances and implementing the policy of free election campaigns for candidates. These are necessary to cut symbiotic ties between government and business that engender corruption and other abuses of democracy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details

Critics are saying Ivanka Trump needs a Thesaurus, but what her father could use is a good dictionary to look up 'corruption' and 'conflict of interest'. Trump has profited directly and indirectly from his status as President through his hotels and resorts and by hosting government functions at his private businesses, and he has scoffed at conflict-of-interest guidelines in handing over his business affairs to his sons. Trump needs schooling in democracy and tools like separation of powers and blind trusts, which function to ensure that government officials do not overstep their authority or benefit personally from policy decisions. For details read the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Some UK officials may have short memories concerning relations with nations in South America and the danger of selling ships and weapons simply to balance out the budget for defense spending. The lessons of the Falklands should not be forgotten and the needs of the UK for a strong navy should be uppermost in any planning for armssales. Moreover those in official positions must also keep in mind public opinion and refrain from holding any such talks in secret. For more on the role of public opinion in democracy see the Charter for Permanent Peace andDemocracy.

Myanmar should carry out reform to adopt the basic principles behind Global Unity Constitutional Standards as well as the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law precedence over domestic law. At the same time, it should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. This will be the first step in resolving the Rohingya refugee crisis, after which the world's democracies should offer aid to relieve the suffering of refugees who have already fled across the border to Bangladesh. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Sustainable development is one of the major aims of the UN, and all nations – UN members or not – should comply with its norms. This means implementing One World under One Set of Laws and giving international law precedence over domestic law, with direct bearing on the rights and duties of the people. All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and other relevant pacts regarding the environment. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The twin phenomena of climate catastrophe and catastrophic inequality are intertwined and mutually compounding. Governments everywhere should carry out constitutional reform to improve allocation of resources. The core values of One World under One Set of Laws should be implemented to seek 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. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

To eliminate the conditions that create refugees, the international community needs to agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This meansadopting the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and 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.

According to the Democracy index there are 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators. All democracies should back Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy as well, leading to the birth of world peace. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Power leads to corruption, and Kenya's political system is broken.. Kenya should switch to a dual leader system; limit the president to a single 5-year term with no eligibility for him/her or relatives for 6 years, and put the prime minister in charge of government operations and national defense, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
