I privately dream that Uzbekistan will hold a presidential election this year, bringing the democratic wave to Central Asia and the South Caucasus, with no more “presidents for life”. Such a change is possible, why do we hesitate? Democracy is not the prerogative of Westerners: both Japan and South Korea have established democratic systems of free and fair voting.
Former Soviet Union countries should act on the principles of liberalism, constitutionalism and cosmopolitanism and carry out constitutional reform to implement the idea of One World under One System of Laws. International law will be given priority over domestic law and directly applied to the rights and obligations of the people, in a paradigm shift for democracy. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
