Treaty of Middelburg
If I could change something about freedom in the world, I would ensure that all people have true freedom of expression, movement, and opportunity—not just in theory, but in practice. Many places claim to be free, yet people still face oppression, censorship, or systemic barriers that limit their choices. Some key changes I’d focus on: Freedom from Oppression – No one should live in fear of persecution for their beliefs, identity, or speech. Economic Freedom – Everyone should have access to resources, education, and fair wages so they can truly make choices about their lives. Freedom of Information – The right to access uncensored, unbiased information is critical for real freedom. Freedom from Fear – Whether it's war, violence, or government control, no one should feel trapped by circumstances they didn't choose. Freedom to Move – Borders often restrict opportunity. People should be able to move freely to seek a better life.
