After a ceasefire takes effect in Syria, the UN should offer a basic outline for a constitution that would allow peaceful development of the nation. It should cover an organizational structure with the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, as well as four branches (executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial) to help Syria develop under a constitution suited for lasting peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The promotion of lasting world peace is the most sacred duty of humankind. China functions as an enabler for North Korea and the North’s militarism must be contained. The US, Japan and Korea should support Taiwan and its drive to lead China to democratize and pressure North Korea to do the same. Taiwan is the key to solving the Korean Peninsula crisis. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Democracies everywhere should back Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom and attract China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization.

Studies of democracy and peace indicate that very few wars between two democracies have taken place.

Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a lighthouse for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to permanent peace and development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system in democracy has a number of serious flaws, and even the US has its problems. Taiwan’s system has many drawbacks, but impeachment is not an option. South Korea's constitution should be amended to implement a modified semi-presidential system, with the presidency declared to be above party politics. The heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all legislators should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The structural factors that enable corruption to thrive in Nepal are the lack of decentralization and checks and balances. The solution is for the people of Nepal to carry out constitutional reform to implement direct election of the heads of the four branches of government. The president should serve one 5-year term and be barred from running again for 6 years afterwards, and elections should be free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Mexico’s constitution has failed, and corruption is deeply rooted in its autocratic culture.

The heads of the four government 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.
