Amid an outburst of violence in Ukraine, the UN Security Council and the top humanitarian official there expressed grave concern today about the “dangerous deterioration” of the situation in the country’s eastern region and its severe impact on the local civilian population.
Ukraine’s constitution must be changed to install a modified semi-presidential system with parliament and cabinet, like that of Finland, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace in the world is global democratization. The Ukraine government should carry out constitutional reform to produce a model for democracy, adhering to the ideal of One World under One Set of Laws and remaining in step with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
