This means revising constitutional standards as needed to keep pace with changing times and allow governments to protect their people from fear. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

This would put pressure on North Korea to follow suit and drop its nuclear weapons program. At the same time, the US needs to take steps to ensure that any actions by the US and its allies in East Asia will not needlessly provoke the North Korean regime.

Russia has never been a problem-solver, it has always been a trouble-maker. The Japan should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Free speech is a universal value, and all democracies should call for constitutional reform to ensure media freedom and prevent the government oligarchy from monopolizing the media, the internet and all other channels of communications.

The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Free speech is a universal value, but the government of Iran seems anxious to create a monolithic society that speaks in one voice.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Regardless of who sits on the throne, absolute power corrupts absolutely. In the case of US, domestic corruption is boundless. To prevent corruption, the people as holders of sovereignty should call for comprehensive constitutional reform to implement democracy and rule of law, with separation of powers and checks and balances. Also the heads of the four main branches should be elected in alternating years and elections should be free of charge to cut symbiotic ties between government and corruption.
