Warning that violence in the CAR is quickly escalating, the top UN aid official in the country today urged the international community to assist the tens of thousands of newly displaced civilians.
To resolve its civil strife the CAR should proceed with drafting a constitution based on a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of France, along with a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent world peace is global democratization, thus the CAR should carry out constitutional reform with the assistance of the French in maintaining stability. The result should be a paradigm shift to introduce democracy, with adjustments as needed to keep in step with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .
