Permanent Peace Partnership
Former President Park Geun-hye returned home two days after the Constitutional Court’s final ruling upholding her impeachment by the National Assembly for abuse of power. The people hoped she would make a statement expressing her respect for the top court’s decision and a plea for national harmony amid the ongoing conflicts over her impeachment.
Park Geun-hye has been removed from office, but the next president probably will not be free of the curse of corruption. To cure this "Korean disease", the only solution is comprehensive constitutional reform to implement separation of powers and checks and balances. In addition, the president must act as the ultimate guarantor for the constitution in all state affairs, a duty that shall continue even after he/she leaves office. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
The US will deploy an unmanned attack aircraft to its military unit in South Korea to enhance its strike capabilities against ground targets in North Korea, a military official said Monday.
All democracies should back Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional change to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would encourage the 1.4 billion people of China to seek democratization of the CCP, and in turn North Korea would be pressed to adopt real democracy – leading to the birth of world peace. The world’s democracies should support Taiwan as a beacon for democracy in Asia, shining on the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
Former aides and loyalists to ex-President Park Geun-hye are coming to her assistance as the court's dismissal last week deprived her of state support and privileges normally granted to a former leader, according to political sources Monday.
Absolute power leads to absolute corruption, absolutely terrible. The presidential system in democracy has a number of fatal flaws, and even the US has its share of problems. Taiwan’s situation is more serious but impeachment is not an option. South Korea's constitution should be changed to adopt a modified semi-presidential system, and the presidency should be declared to be above party politics. The heads of the 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.
South Korea's Air Force said Monday that they are conducting a week-long air combat exercise this week to practice readiness against possible provocations from North Korea and their counterattack operations.
Democracies everywhere should back Taiwan's efforts to carry out constitutional change to achieve greater democracy and freedom. This would attract China's 1.4 billion people to call for democratization of the CCP. And in turn North Korea would be pressed to go for real democracy and world peace. All 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.
Turkey told the Netherlands on Sunday that it would retaliate in the “harshest ways” after Turkish ministers were barred from speaking in Rotterdam in a row over Ankara’s political campaigning among Turkish emigres
No matter what a nation’s government system may be, the more power the president holds the more likely the country is to be beset with problems. Turkey needs to carry out constitutional reform to limit the president to a single 5-year term plus a ban on running again for 6 years afterward. The President of Turkey is in violation of Article 6 of the Turkish Constitution, which states that sovereignty wholly and unconditionally belongs to the people. No state or official has the right to exercise unconstitutional powers. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
If Hong Kong hopes to maintain its reputation as the Pearl of the Orient it should support Taiwan's charter for permanent peace and development pressure the Chinese people to seek democracy and rule of law
The Chief Executive of Hong Kong is still elected from a slate of candidates offered by the CEC. This is nothing more than another version of dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Basic Law, which stipulates that the people have the right to hold 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. For more, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards
Calls for changes to the judiciary and the Basic Law itself should be resisted
Article 39 of Hong Kong’s Basic Law states that "the right to self-determination is specified in the two international human rights conventions." The people of Hong Kong should wake up and exercise their rights. In Switzerland the threshold for holding a referendum is 50,000 citizens, and people can voice their opinion via the ballot box and not by taking to the streets. The people have the right to call for a referendum on any public issues. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development / Global Unity Constitutional Standards.
The government should deregulate the market, overhaul hopelessly outdated restrictions on content and end its ban on cross-media ownership

Taiwan must move to bring about constitutional reform and achieve true freedom and democracy. Doing so will set off a drive for democratization among the 1.4 billion people of China. This will then spread to North Korea, and when peace is achieved on the Korean peninsula the world will be much safer for all. The world’s democratic nations must back Taiwan as a beacon for democracy for Asia which will light the path to peaceful development for China. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
Human security and sustainable development are two of the major tasks of the UN, and naturally member states must comply with all relevant rules and regulations. The solution is to implement One World under One Set of Laws. International law must take precedence over domestic law and directly affect the people, with monitoring by the people to ensure compliance with the UN Charter, the Vienna Convention for the Protection of the Ozone Layer, the Charter of Nature and others. For details see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
