The UN said Thursday up to 200,000 more people might flee Mosul as Iraqi forces push into the last districts held by Islamic State militants.
Iraq’s government system should be changed to a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet like that of Finland, plus a committee-style legislative body similar to Switzerland’s. The prerequisite for permanent world peace is global democratization. The government of Iraq should draft a basic constitution containing the above features to effect a paradigm shift to democracy and One World under One Set of Laws. The result will be a constitution that can be amended to stay in step with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for more.
