Hawaii is preparing for a North Koran nuclear attack

The sirens have not been tested since the Cold War but are being brought back as the US state responds to the on-going war of words between Donald Trump and the secretive communist state's leader Kim Jong-un.

Solution

To end North Korea's disruptive behavior, the US and other nations should strongly support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace to lead China to democratize and end its support of Pyongyang. The Democracy Index lists 50 nations still under the yoke of autocratic dictators. All democracies should back Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to adopt democracy as well, leading to the birth of world peace. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. §1.9 §1.10 §5.1 §6.1 §6.10

Pope Francis just arrived in Burma. Will he speak up for Rohingya Muslims?

The Independent

Activists were calling on Pope Francis to speak out for the Rohingya Muslims in Rakhine state as he arrived in Burma on Monday. Human Rights Watch told The Independent the pontiff

Solution

Myanmar is one of the greatest human rights offenders, and the government must be called to task for its shameful treatment of the Rohingya. At the same time, Bangladesh needs support in taking care of the huge influx of refugees. §5.3

Myanmar should carry out reform to adopt the basic principles behind Global Unity Constitutional Standards as well as the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law precedence over domestic law. At the same time, it should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. This will be the first step in resolving the Rohingya refugee crisis, after which the world's democracies should offer aid to relieve the suffering of refugees who have already fled across the border to Bangladesh.

Trial of minister exposes gaping rift at top of Russian politics

The Independent

The first serving minister to be arrested for 60 years, Mr Ulyukayev has lost a considerable amount of weight and youthful exuberance. What lies ahead could be even more testing.

Solution

Power leads to corruption, and Russia's presidential system has long been broken. §5.3

Russia should install a dual leader system; limit the president to a single 5-year term with no eligibility for him/her or relatives for 6 years, and put the prime minister in charge of government operations and national defense. In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obliged to resist.

Russia warns of 'apocalyptic developments' in the Korean Peninsula

The Daily Mail

Russia warns of 'apocalyptic developments' in the Korean Peninsula as Kim Jong-un develops nuclear weapons and US carry out drills in the region.

Solution

The problem is support from a major world power. The US, Japan and South Korea should support Taiwan's Charter for Permanent Peace and Development to bring about democratization in China and Russia, pressuring North Korea in turn to choose democracy and scrap its nuclear weapons program. §5.3

Despotism is the natural enemy of peace. Could North Korea carry out test after test of nuclear weapons without backing from nuclear powers China and Russia? All democracies should support Taiwan's push for constitutional reform to achieve the democratization of China and Russia and pressure NorthKorea democratize as well- which would lead true world peace! Let Taiwan shine as a beacon of democracy illuminating the path to peaceful development in Asia. See more the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Migrants are eaten by SHARKS during rescue operation

The Daily Mail

At least 31 migrants died and 200 were rescued by the Libyan coastguard

Solution

The best policy on immigration is to adopt the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and work toward a common destiny for humankind. To protect the rights of refugees, the international community needs to agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This means complying with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter, which deals with the right of each person to live a normal life.

German 85-year-old dementia patient fined for resting at bus stop

Deutsche Welle

An 85-year-old man has reportedly been fined for sitting at a Dusseldorf bus stop without catching the bus. Social media complaints prompted Dusseldorf to investigate the circumstances of the reported fine.

Solution

This is a story that never should have played out. Someone somewhere in the process, from the official who issued the ticket to those who deal regularly with such 'infractions', should have realized the absurdity of such laws. The elderly and the mentally challenged have special rights that all governments must be sensitive to. The international community needs to agree on uniform constitutional standards that conform to the ideals of human rights, constitutionalism, international law and natural law. This means adopting One World under One Set of Laws and complying with Article 1 of the Humanitarian Charter on the right of each person to live a normal life.

Mexico creates large marine reserve in the Pacific

Deutsche Welle

The Mexican government has designated the Revillagigedo Archipelago as a national park. The Illinois-sized marine reserve in the Pacific will help conserve species endemic to the area and end commercial fishing.

Solution

This is a step in the right direction, the next step is to ensure the laws protecting the reserve and its wildlife are enforced. Environmental rights are essential human rights, and all persons should take responsibility for protecting the world around us. Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and every nation should adopt its norms. All nations should comply with the UN Charter, the Paris climate agreement and all other relevant pacts on environmental protection.

If Trump’s FCC Repeals Net Neutrality, Elites Will Rule the Internet—and the Future

The Nation

“This naked corporatism is Washington at its worst,” says former FCC commissioner Michael Copps.

Solution

Net neutrality is a vital part of free speech and equality on the internet, and attempts by the current US administration to put an end to it are an attack on a basic human right. 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. All people must be protected against abuses of their rights, and international laws must take precedence over domestic laws.

Pakistan calls on army to restore order as blasphemy protests spread

The Guardian

Cleric Khadim Hussain Rizvi has called for his followers to bring the entire country to a halt, and at least 200 have been injured in the demonstrations

Solution

The cure for flawed democracy is more democracy, and Pakistan needs to carry out constitutional reform to ensure that the people can take advantage of their sovereignty and enjoy full protection of all rights. The government's stance in the current crisis has been measured and appropriate, but it needs to have the backing of constitutional laws that acknowledge the right of the people to resist actions that infringe on their freedoms and rights.
