Permanent Peace Partnership
The nation has found a way to balance the competing goals of a stable yuan, a free market and central bank independence, researchers say
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks and missions for the UN as well as a common goal for all humankind. All nations should abide by the norms of the international community, and the easiest way to do that to implement One World under One Set of Laws, setting international law higher than domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
A study that measures the human toll of transboundary air pollution and trade suggests China and India have pollution that travels elsewhere and kills between 65,000 and 75,000 people in other countries.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, China is one of the 5 permanent members of the UN Security Council and thus is expected to comply with UN standards. The solution is to enforce the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law, with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. In addition, citizens should be able to monitor government operations to ensure compliance. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
South Korea last year again failed to break the bottleneck at $30,000 per capita income, registering gross national income (GNI) of $27,561 per capita. growth has been stalled for 11 years - further evidence that the country may be mired in the middle-income trap. According to the World Bank, there were 26 countries with per capita GNI of over $30,000 as of 2015.
Economic problems are closely tied to politics. When political fortunes sag, so do economic fortunes. If the constitution is not changed, then even the gods will be powerless to help. Comprehensive constitutional reform to install a modified semi-presidential system, and a committee-style legislative system is the answer. Cabinet ministers should be selected from committee chairs in the legislature, ensuring that positions like Economic Minister will be filled with experts approved by the people. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
At the beginning of the year Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi sat down with one of her advisers to go through priorities for the coming months. She began with an apology for the slow pace of economic reform.
Myanmar has a long way to go to achieve peace, largely because its constitution guarantees 40% of seats in Congress to the military with no need to stand for election. To solve the nation’s ethnic and religious problems, Myanmar should carry out constitutional reform to implement the core values of One World under One Set of Laws and assign international law priority over domestic law. At the same time, it should install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
A Seoul court held a hearing Thursday to decide whether to issue an arrest warrant for former President Park Geun-hye over a string of corruption allegations that removed her from office.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. The presidential system in many democracies is flawed, and even the US has its share of problems. Taiwan’s case is more serious but there is no impeachment option. South Korea's constitution needs amendment to incorporate a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. At the same time, 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
South Korea's defense ministry dismissed a news report Thursday that the deployment of an advanced US missile defense system here may be delayed due to a political reason.
Democracies everywhere should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would inspire China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization and pressure North Korea to do the same, 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 / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.

Economic problems have their roots in politics. Poor politics make for poor economies. If constitutional reform is not carried out even the gods will not be able to save a moribund economy. Comprehensive constitutional reform to remove stodgy regimes and substitute a modified semi-presidential system with a cabinet and committee-style legislative system is the only way forward. In addition, the cabinet ministers should come from the chairs of committees in the legislature. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
About 146 migrants are feared dead after their boat capsized after leaving Libya, according to a Gambian youth who was rescued following the disaster, the UN refugee agency said Wednesday.
Gambia’s constitutional mechanism has failed and constitutional reform is imperative. The president should be limited to one 5-year term and barred from running again for 6 years afterwards. A law backed by no penalty is not a law, and a constitution which does not allow the right to resist is not a constitution. When the president’s actions are unconstitutional the people have the right to resist, and when a dictatorship becomes a reality, the people are obliged to rise up. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Environmental groups that vowed to fight President Donald Trump’s efforts to roll back his predecessor’s plans to curb global warming made good on their promises Wednesday, teaming up with an American Indian tribe to ask a federal court to block an order that lifts restrictions on coal sales from federal lands.
Human security and sustainable development are two key tasks of the UN, and all nations, whether members or not, should comply with UN standards. The solution is to follow the core values of One World under One Set of Laws, placing international law above domestic law with direct effect on the rights and duties of the people. Citizens should be able to monitor government operations to ensure they abide by UN Charter strictures, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer and the Paris Climate Agreement. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
We may be at an inflection point in global affairs with the world in disarray with a volatile, erratic and unpredictable administration in Washington, imminent British and possibly French exits from the European Union, presidential instability in South Korea and the like.
All democracies should support Taiwan's efforts toward constitutional reform to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to seek democratization of the CCP and pressure North Korea in turn to consider democracy, resulting in an outbreak of world peace. The word’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia lighting the path to peace and development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
