The Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela sees that document as a simple working draft that does not give rise to any mandate or obligation for the Republic, because of its flawed character.

With such a flawed system shaping the world s understanding of poverty, declarations of success or failure carry little meaning.

That s what I came here to do. To look for allies I can convince that we deserve less death, and that maybe, just maybe, bombing a school is a shame for all humanity.

Instead, we survived the financial tsunami of 2008, only to rebuild in the same place, on the main financial fault lines, using the same flawed design.

The disrepute into which the political process has fallen, and the widespread cynicism about the motives of India s politicians, can be traced directly to the flawed workings of the parliamentary system.

They lined up in large numbers, peacefully cast their ballots, and resoundingly rejected a flawed constitution that had been hastily forced upon them.
