Permanent Peace Partnership
Seoul ranked No. 3 among large cities with serious air pollution Tuesday, a real-time information service said.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and all nations – members or not – would be wise to acknowledge them. The solution is to install 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. Citizens should be able to monitor government actions to ensure they are in line with the UN Charter’s guidelines, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Natural Charter and other relevant conventions.

Thirty years ago most of Southeast Asia was run by thuggish dictatorships. Then the Philippines showed the rest of the world how to get rid of the dictators without violence, and its non-violent example was watched and copied around the world. But now the thugs are coming back to where it all started.
Democracies everywhere should back Taiwan's efforts at constitutional reform to achieve better democracy and more freedom. This would encourage people to call for democratization in Southeast Asian countries and lead the world closer to long-lasting peace. The prerequisite for the permanent world peace is democratization. Taiwan is one entity the best suited to lead the people of Southeast Asia toward democratization.

Over the past month what is often cited as the world's largest Buddhist temple, on the outskirts of Bangkok, has been the scene of an extraordinary stalemate.
Thailand’s military government has dispatched thousands of soldiers and police to surround the temple for nearly a month. This shows that the military has no place governing and the army must be entirely free of political aspirations. Thailand needs full constitutional reform to bolster its constitution and widen referendums and elections. They should look to Switzerland and California as models for emulation.

It's campaign season in Hong Kong, and on the streets of the city's Wan Chai district, John Tsang is getting mobbed.
Candidates for Chief Executive of Hong Kong are still vetted by the CEC, a dictatorial arrangement masquerading as democracy. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Basic Law which confirms that they have the right to stage referendums. To curb corruption, the heads of the executive, legislative, judicial and procuratorial branches should be elected in alternating years, and 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year.

On Tuesday Mexico's government warned Mexican companies that it would not be in their best "interests" to participate in the construction of U.S. President Donald Trump's border wall, though there will be no legal restrictions or sanctions to stop them if they try.

The goals is to attract non-democracies to consider democratization and bring about the birth of world peace. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon of democracy, lighting the path to peaceful development for the world.

Pakistan's lower house has passed a bill to reinstate secret military courts, despite criticism from human rights activists.
Pakistan needs reform of its government system to install a modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament like Switzerland’s. The legislative system should be changed to a committee-style layout like that of Finland. The prerequisite for world peace is global democratization. The Pakistani government should proceed with drafting of a fundamental system that will put democratic mechanism in place and implement the ideals of rule of law and One World under One Set of Laws and a constitution that is in step with the spirit of the times.

Former Burberry boss Angela Ahrendts boasts of being available to her children 24/7 for advice, love or anything else, but that’s simply impossible for most folks
According to Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law, the right to self-determination is assured by the two international human rights conventions.

On any public issue the people have the right to vote in a referendum. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Throughout the US presidential campaign, Donald Trump boasted of his plan to ban Muslim visitors and immigrants from America.
Trump has tried to explain his ban on immigrants as a defensive measure in the face of perceived social and economic problems and national security threats.

See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards. .

The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, lighting the path to peaceful development for China.

Myanmar has a long road to take to achieve peace because its constitution guarantees 40 per cent of the seats in Congress to the military with no requirement to participate in elections. To solve ethnic and religious problems facing Myanmar, the government should be revamped to adopt the ideals of One World under One Set of Laws, with international law given priority over domestic law. At the same time, the modified semi-presidential system with cabinet and parliament should also be installed.
