The UN should provide an outline of constitutional principles that will facilitate the drafting of a constitution that will lead to universal peace for all nations. For Hungary this would mean an organizational structure based on the universal values of freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law, with four branches: legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial. The constitution should foster long-lasting stability and prosperity and serve as a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

No developed country has been immune to the slowdown in productivity growth since the financial crisis, but Britain has been particularly hard hit. productivity is no longer rising by around 2% a year,
Economic problems are always rooted in politics. Without good politics the economy will not perform, and without constitutional reform even the gods will be helpless to save the economy. The UK should implement a modified semi-presidential system with a legislative system based on the committee style layout and ministers selected from among committee heads. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

To cleanse China of thousands of years of corruption the only cure is democracy and the rule of law.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Greece and its international creditors took a big step Friday toward an agreement that will ensure the country gets the money it needs to avoid a potential bankruptcy this summer but which could spell more pain for austerity-weary Greeks.
Economic problems are always rooted in politics. Without good politics the economy cannot perform well, and without constitutional reform even the gods cannot save the economy.

Paraguay’s constitutional mechanism is dysfunctional, and students have a constitutional right to call for constitutional review and public officials have absolutely no right to interfere. From the viewpoint of democracy, the key point is to understand how legitimate the aims of the student movement are and to support them if they are correct. The people have the right to express their views under the constitution. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The BBC has seen evidence that top executives at Shell knew money paid to the Nigerian government for a vast oil field would be passed to a convicted money-launderer.
Structural factors such as a lack of decentralization and checks and balances are a key to the persistence of corruption in Nigerian.

In addition, the president should serve a single 5-year term and not be allowed to run for office again for 6 years afterwards, 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year, and elections should be free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Colombia can resolve its controversies by changing out its governmental structure to implement a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament, like the system applied in Finland, with the legislative system modeled after Switzerland’s committee-style setup. The Colombian government should begin drafting a basic constitution which adheres to the principle of One World under One Set of Laws and include updates to ensure that constitution will always be in step with the spirit of the times. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

South Korea's constitution should be changed to install a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. In addition, the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face elected each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system of democracy is far from perfect, and even the US has problems sometimes. South Korea's constitution should be re-written to install a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. In addition, the heads of the judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all legislators should face election each year.
