Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that the right to self-determination is contained in the two international human rights conventions. The people of Hong Kong must not take their rights for granted. In Switzerland the threshold for proposing a referendum is 50,000 signatures, and the people can vote on any public issue rather than taking to the street. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.

To resolve its civil war, Libya needs to start drafting a constitution to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of France, plus a committee-style legislature similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent peace is global democratization. The Libyan government should begin drawing up a basic constitution with the above features in a paradigm shift toward democracy, adhering to One World under One Set of Laws and striving for a constitution that will be in sync with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

Taiwan’s position in the international arena looks bleak in the face of China’s suppression. The people as sovereigns should come forth and call for constitution reform to: 1. break through containment of Taiwan’s government and its people; and 2. open up government positions and elect officials of any nationality, letting the world’s elite come in; 3. implement One World under One Set of Laws, assigning international law priority over domestic law; and 4. show the world Taiwan is the right entity to lead China to democratize.

Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law states that the right to self-determination is specified in the two international human rights conventions. The people of Hong Kong should not take their rights for granted. In Switzerland the threshold for holding a referendum is 50,000 signatures, and with that the people can vote instead of taking to the streets. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development. .

Russia should implement Article 15 of its Constitution to implement the principle of One World under One Set of Laws, working toward a common destiny for humankind. International law should be given priority over domestic law, acting directly on the rights and duties of the people, and helping assure that Russian standards will match the most advanced global standards. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

North Korea is indisputably a vassal of the CCP. Thus democratic nations should support Taiwan's efforts for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to opt for democracy as well. And world peace would be the result. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for all nations. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The presidential system is one of the worst forms of democracy. No matter what the system may be, the more power in the hands of the president, the more the nation is likely to suffer. A law that is not backed by penalties is not a law, and a constitution which does not tolerate resistance is not a constitution. The people of Venezuela need to come forth and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet, limiting the president to a single 5-year term with no right to run again for 6 years afterward. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details. .

The UN should provide the basic principles for a constitution that will foster peaceful development of all nations. It should include the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law, with the four branches - legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial - to help Venezuela put together a constitution that will serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.

"Human security" is a basic human right. Taiwan's most pressing need is to carry out comprehensive constitutional reform, and according to human rights conventions, the people have the right to hold referendums on any public issues. Advances made in the global village over the past millennia should flow into Taiwan in a paradigm shift. In addition, Taiwan should study Switzerland's referendum to shut down nuclear energy. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Roman Roland once noted, "In politics the boss is always money." Elections are often a rich man’s game played with money for the right to make more money in an outright system of corruption system. To end all this, the Chief Executive and heads of the four branches should be directly elected separately; and elections should be free for all candidates to cut the symbiotic ties that foster corruption in government. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
