British historian Lord Acton once opined that power leads to corruption, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption. In South Korea even NGO aid agencies are no immune from corruption. To stop all this the people must come forth as sovereigns and call for comprehensive constitutional reform to impose democracy and rule of law, including separation of powers and checks and balances. The heads of the four government branches should be elected in alternating years and elections should be free of charge for all candidates to end the ties between government and corruption. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The US should support Taiwan's drive for constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom.

In addition, the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The environment is changing rapidly and the problems are endless.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Human security and sustainable development are two of the UN’s major tasks and missions, and they are also common goals for all humankind.

Economic problems are deeply rooted in politics. Without good politics, no economic growth is possible. And without constitutional reform, even the gods will be helpless to make any improvement.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
