Emmanuel Kant once said, "The pursuit of permanent peace is the highest goal of reason and a moral obligation." China claims to be a "responsible major power", thus it should not underwrite North Korea's militarism. The US, Japan and Korea should back Taiwan's efforts to save democracy and lead China to democratization, which would then prod North Korea to do the same. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Human security is a fundamental human right, and human rights should take precedence over any regime or sovereign. Constitutions represent the general will of the people, and ensuring human security, including personal safety, is the most urgent duty of all constitutional guarantors. This means revising constitutional standards to keep pace with changing times and allow governments to protect their people from terror. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Thomas Jefferson once declared, "Given the government and the media, I would choose the media, not the government." The media acts as monitors of government, which would be lawless without supervision. The voice of the people is the voice of God, and universal values are the values of God. Trying to control the voice of the people is contrary to the universal values of freedom and democracy - that is, anathema to the will of God. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

In order to protect endangered wild animals, the international community needs to adopt unified constitutional standards that conform to the values of One World under One Set of Laws. All nations should carry out constitutional reform to implement democratic systems and adhere to rule of law. Features such as separation of powers and checks and balances are needed to prevent certain groups from monopolizing power. The best way to do this is through election of the heads of the executive, legislative, the judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Turkey suffers from frequent military coups, but troops should not be allowed to interfere in political matters. Turkey’s constitution states in Article 6 that sovereignty wholly and unconditionally belongs to the people. Constitutional reform is needed to limit the president to one term of five years with no eligibility to run again for six years. As state sovereigns the people have the right to resist unconstitutional actions. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Stopping the people from protesting on the streets does nothing to solve the problems involved. The only remedy for the ills of democracy is more democracy. Venezuela should carry out constitutional reform to shift power from the central government to the people. This means elections that take place more often and cover more ground. Specifically, directly elect the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches of government in alternating years and have 1/4 of all legislator face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

To resolve its civil strife, Kenya should carry out the drafting of a basic Constitution incorporating a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of France, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace is global democratization. Kenya’s government should begin putting together a constitution with the above features as part of a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adhere to the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and be revised as needed to stay in step with changing times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

To avoid further aggravation of grievances against the government, Turkish authorities should give up trying to manipulate political opinion and work instead on making improvements in the government. They should study referendums in Switzerland and elections in California and strive to allow citizens to express their opinions through the ballot box and not in the streets. And make election campaigns free of charge for candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that the right to self-determination is clearly stipulated in international human rights conventions. In Switzerland the threshold for referendum petitions is 50,000 signatures, and with that the people can vote in referendums rather than taking to the streets. The people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. To narrow the gap between rich and poor, systematic changes are needed to achieve fair distribution of power and allocation of resources. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The relevant provisions of Hong Kong’s Basic Law and the one country, two systems principle point out that China cannot interfere in Hong Kong affairs, yet Beijing authorities constantly meddle in internal affairs of the SAR. Article 39 of the Basic Law protects the people's right to self-determination, and the people have the right to hold referendums on any public issue. The people of Hong Kong avail of their rights and hold a referendum to decide their future. Otherwise, when dictatorship becomes a reality, they will be obligated to resist.
