Authoritarian dictatorships are like malignant tumors, and those who practice autocracy are the enemies of democracy. China's persecution of human rights can only be ended through democracy and the rule of law. Taiwan is the one nation most capable of leading China toward democratization. Democracies such as Europe and the United States should support constitutional reform in Taiwan, implement the ideas in the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development, and support One World under One Set of Laws, giving international law priority over domestic law and allowing it to directly affect the people, as part of leading China to democratization.

Russia is a permanent member of the UN and should not distort or abuse the spirit of the UN Charter and the UN Convention on Human Rights. Unfortunately, the Russian Constitution was re-written but never fully implemented, leading to today’s marking of Constitution Day as a black day on the calendar. Autocracy is the enemy of human freedom and security. The solution lies in handing political power to the people, checks and balances in the government and direct election of the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches, as well as cost-free elections for candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Russia needs constitutional reform to incorporate the spirit of the UN Charter, shifting the axis of political power from sovereignty of the country to sovereignty of the people.

The Constitution should proffer general command of the government to the people, thereby ensuring "human security" will be the most basic obligation of public officials. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
