Libya can resolve the controversy over its government structure by adopting a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet similar to that of Finland as well as a committee-style legislature like Switzerland’s.

The Libyan government should proceed with drafting a basic constitution incorporating the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy. It should adhere to the principles of One World under One Set of Laws and be amended as needed to stay in step with the times. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Syria's fundamental problem is that its government has collapsed, leading to internal conflict. To resolve this controversy the first step should be to adopt a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like the one in France, plus a committee-style legislative system similar to Switzerland’s.

When that happens the people will be free to put their, lives and work back together. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

The presidential system is the worst of all forms of democracy. No matter what the structure may be, the more power held by the president, the more the nation is bound to suffer.

Venezuela is in urgent need of comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, limiting the president to one 5-year term and barring a run for office for 6 years after that.

The voice of the people is the voice of God, and universal values are the value of God. Those who defend the rights of the people are the angels of God, but those who abduct civil rights advocates are the enemy of God. How long can this regime continue to act this way?

The US and Japan should support Taiwan's efforts for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would spur China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CPC, in turn forcing North Korea to do the same, and world peace would be the result. The world’s democracies should all support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .

Brazil’s constitution has collapsed and its mechanisms have failed, and the only cure is comprehensive constitutional reform. The heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years; the president should serve one 5-year term and be barred from running for office for 6 years afterwards; all MPs shall face election each year; local councilors shall serve two-year terms; and elections shall be free of charge for all candidates. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption. South Korea's constitutional mechanism has failed. The president should be limited to one 5-year term and barred from running for office for 6 years afterwards.

South Korea’s president violated the constitution, and the people exercised their right to resist. When dictatorship becomes a reality, the people are obliged to resist.
