So if you're over 500 million kill the extra?
Eugenics is the answer to guiding reproduction? And who gets to decide who is fit to live or reproduce?
Living new language? As in a language where definitions are changed constantly to make authority figure appear infallible in what they state as fact?
Rule with reason? As in obssessive rationalism? A root cause of mass formation psychosis.
And who decides which courts are fair? "Protecting" people at the direct expense of their freedom no doubt.
A world court? A centralized one world government? What could possibly go wrong?
Avoid petty laws and useless officials? Who determines what is petty or who is useless? Sounds more like centralize power into the hands of fewer people.
Balance individual rights with social duties? What social duties at the direct expense of what individual rights? Sounds like a means to violate your rights to me.
Prize truth - what truth? Beauty? At the expense of the less fortunate? Love? None the afformentioned sounds like love so far. Sounds like obsessive control.
Leave room for nature? By making people starve and freeze to enforce climate change myths? (See number 1.)

that's one interpretation, another might be:
be careful not to overpopulate, we think that's what led to this civilization's downfall.
don't inbreed, blood "purity" leads to all kinds of bad stuff.
make sure you can all communicate with and understand each other.
moderation is good, try not to be fanatical about anything.
law should apply equally to everybody.
it's ok to have different laws in different places, just make sure you also have a place for conversation between these places.
don't make rules just for the sake of having rules.
a little reasonable restriction on freedom gives eveyrone in the society more freedom.
don't forget the airy-fairy spiritual stuff, far out man.
nature provides more than you think, make sure it continues to do so.

We are not overpopulated. We can sustain a hundred times our population.
A "living" language does not assist that. It will continue to divide people. Much like changing the defnitions of current terms instead of making a new word for the new idea instead.
What place for conversation between places in terms of law? What happens in one country is no business of another's.
Laws always have a purpose. Most of them are meant to criminalize non conformists. The only way to provide any real change to that is to revert back to common law.
"a little reasonable restriction on freedom gives eveyrone in the society more freedom."
No it doesn't. Freedom is a personal responsibility. "Those that would trade freedom for the promise of safety, deserve neither, nor shall have it."
"nature provides more than you think, make sure it continues to do so."
Most people are ok about that. Talk to planetary "Management" about changing their own ways, not mine.

“All they found were four items: a single eight-track tape of ‘Saturday Night Fever,’ a Peterbilt emblem, a October 1979 Playboy magazine signed by Burt Reynolds, and a bag containing 1,734 Quallude pills.”
