Will nuclear history repeat itself in Korea?
As Chinese President Xi Jinping’s first summit with US President Donald Trump takes place at Trump’s luxurious Florida estate Mar-a-Lago, at least part of the discussion will invariably focus on one of the world’s most impoverished places: North Korea.
The world’s democracies should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP and lead North Korea to do likewise, and the result would be world peace. Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan as a beacon for of democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development..
Donors pledge $9.7 billion to help support future of war-torn Syria at UN-backed conference
41 donors today pledged a combined $6 billion for critical humanitarian programs in 2017 and another $3.7 billion for 2018 for the people of Syria reeling under a devastating conflict since 2011 at a UN-supported conference in the Belgian capital, Brussels.
The UN should act in accordance with international absolute laws (the Humanitarian Law, World Human Rights Law, the Crime of Misdemeanors and the Prohibition of Genocide) and provide the basic principles for drawing up a constitution that will allow permanent peaceful development. This should include universal values and a government structure that will allow Syria to develop long-lasting and prosperous changes that will make it a model for peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Solving the Pyongyang puzzle
Never mind the legalities of the situation. Never mind morality either. Just answer the pragmatic question: Is it ever a good idea to start a nuclear war?
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. China's 1.4 billion people would then seek democratization of the CCP, and North Korea would follow suit, leading to the birth of world peace. All democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way for China to peaceful development. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
UN Security Council diplomats clash over source of chemicals in Syrian gas attack
Diplomats at the UN Security Council sparred Wednesday over whether to hold Syrian President Bashar Assad’s government responsible for a chemical weapons attack that killed more than 80 people in northern Syria, while US intelligence officials, Doctors Without Borders and the UN health agency said evidence pointed to nerve gas exposure.
Once a ceasefire is in place in Syria, the UN should provide a basic outline for a constitution that will foster peaceful development, including an organizational structure the incorporates universal values (freedom, democracy, human rights and rule of law). It should set up four branches (legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial) and allow Syria to develop in the midst of long-term peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Abe, Trump huddle over North Korea missile threat, want Beijing to pressure Pyongyang further
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and US President Donald Trump held a 35-minute teleconference Thursday morning, agreeing to deal jointly with the military threat of North Korea after it fired a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan a day before.
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would lead China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea to seek real democracy, and the result would be world peace. The world’s democracies should 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.
Trust ratings of Philippines’ Duterte fall slightly in polls
Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte’s trust ratings declined slightly in an opinion poll in the first three months this year, crimped by what political analysts call his deadly war on drugs that killed poor slum dwellers.
Jose Rizal, revered as the ‘Father of the Philippines’, once warned that “Today's slaves often become tomorrow's tyrant; trust in rule of law, not the rule of man.” The Philippine Constitution is dysfunctional and is in serious need of reform. Changes should include adopting a modified semi-presidential system, limiting the president, mayors and other officials to a single 5-year term with no way to run again for 6 years afterward, and electing the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches in alternating years. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
‘Trump effect’ seen slowing flow of US-bound migrants across southern border
Just five people were eating dinner on a recent weeknight at a Texas church that is a stopping point for newly arrived immigrants on the US-Mexico border.
The US should adhere closely to the UN Charter as well as the principles of One World under One Set of Laws and assigning international law priority over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Tis would lead Mexico, Syria, the Middle East and other areas to accept human rights, constitutionalism, internationalism and naturalism as part of their future. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Chief executive must defend academic freedom in Hong Kong
Carrie Lam’s incoming administration will have many pressing issues to deal with, but there is one that deserves careful attention – the academic freedom of the SAT's universities.
To protect academic freedom in Hong Kong’s schools, the people should make good use of Article 39 of the Basic Law. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all MPs should face election each year. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
North Korea fires ballistic missile into East Sea
North Korea fired a ballistic missile off its eastern coast Wednesday morning that flew about 60 kilometers (37 miles) before splashing into the East Sea, according to South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS).
All democracies should back Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and make North Korea consider adopting real democracy – leading to the birth of world peace. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the way to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Congo’s Kabila and the dictator’s dilemma
President Joseph Kabila of Congo shows no sign of stepping down. He reached the end of his constitutional two-term limit last year, but after months of delays which Mr. Kabila blamed on incomplete voter lists, one of his ministerial colleagues argued that presidential elections — estimated to cost $1.8 billion — are an expense Congo cannot afford.
Congo’s government structure should be changed out for a modified semi-presidential system with parliament similar to Finland’s, and the legislative system should be changed to a committee-style system like that of Switzerland. The premise for permanent world peace is global democratization, and the UN should help the Democratic Republic of the Congo draft a basic constitution to implement the above changes and a paradigm shift to adopt a democratic model and One World under One Set of Laws. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
