| UN AND INTERPOL ARE 'NATURAL PARTNERS' IN BOOSTING GLOBAL SECURITY -- BAN
New York, Oct 11 2009 4:10PM
Welcoming a new agreement between the United Nations and International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL) to enhance policing cooperation in post-conflict areas, Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the two organizations "natural partners" in boosting security and peace. Increasingly, leaders are coming to appreciate the role of police in restoring stability after war, Mr. Ban said in a video message to a two-day ministerial meeting in Singapore convened by the UN and INTERPOL. Demands on UN Police (UNPOL) continue to grow because "we help individuals, we uplift whole societies. UN Police nurture faith in justice. They forge trust in uniformed men and women. They generate confidence that peace can succeed," he said. The challenges, including the spectre of economic collapse and fear, in carrying out the "life-saving" work are massive, the Secretary-General stressed, addi
ng that "the only way to succeed is to join forces." An action plan on global police peacekeeping is essential, he said, appealing for continued support to help victims of conflict and promote greater respect for the rule of law. Oct 11 2009 4:10PM

| NEPAL: UN WELCOMES FRESH START TO DISCHARGE OF FORMER MAOIST FIGHTERS
New York, Oct 11 2009 10:10AM
The United Nations welcomed today's re-launching of the discharge and rehabilitation process of over 4,000 former Maoist fighters -- including child soldiers -- in Nepal, with the world body's top envoy to the Asian nation calling it an important step forward in the peace process. The ex-combatants taking part in the process, a joint effort of the Government and the Unified Communist Party of Nepal-Maoist (UCPN-M), were identified as minors or late recruits during the 2007 verification process. "By taking part in this overdue discharge exercise, the parties are fulfilling the agreement that they reached," Karin Landgren, the Secretary-General's Special Representative, said at the launch. "The discharge is an important sign of good faith and sincerity, and of commitment to seeing the peace process through to its conclusion." She underscored that "all of you who take part in making
this exercise a success are playing an important part in reinforcing Nepal''s peace process." A decade-long civil war, claiming some 13,000 lives, ended in 2006 with the signing of a peace accord between the Government and Maoists. After conducting Constituent Assembly elections in May 2008, the nation abolished its 240-year-old monarchy and declared itself a republic. In her address, Ms. Landgren, who heads the UN special political mission in the country (UNMIN), also stressed the importance of cooperation between different groups to ensure peace and stability in Nepal. "No parties should retain the idea of a military or authoritarian solution for this country," she said. "The only path to durable peace is through negotiation undertaken in a true spirit of compromise and cooperation." UNMIN and the UN Country Team said in a statement today that they are encouraged by the establishment of a high-level Steering Committee, led by Minister for Peace and Reconstruction Rakam Ch
emjong, to oversee the process. The Discharge Technical Committee has already begun its work. Both bodies include representatives from the Government, UCPN-M and the UN. The Government's plan for the discharge and rehabilitation process includes consulting ineligible personnel on different rehabilitation packages. "The United Nations stands ready to provide support and assistance for this important programme to ensure successful rehabilitation of the minors and late recruits into Nepali society in line with international standards," the statement noted.

| HAITI: SECURITY COUNCIL EXPRESSES SHOCK AT DEADLY UN PLANE CRASH
New York, Oct 10 2009 8:10PM
The Security Council today expressed its "deep distress and shock" over yesterday's deadly crash in Haiti of a plane, affiliated with the United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Caribbean nation, which killed all 11 people on board. Echoing a statement issued last night by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon through his spokesperson, the 15-member Council expressed its sympathy and condolences to the families of those who died in the accident. In a communiqué, the mission, known as <"http://minustah.org/">MINUSTAH, said the plane was on a regular reconnaissance flight in south-eastern Haiti when it crashed around noon into the side of a mountain in the Fonds-Verrettes area, about 45 kilometres from the capital, Port-au-Prince.
The bodies of the 11 passengers and crew have been recovered from the crash site and transported back to Port-au-Prince, where the headquarters of MINUSTAH is locat
ed. The names of the people killed have not yet been released but the UN confirmed that the victims include Uruguayan and Jordanian military officers serving with the mission.
MINUSTAH reported that an investigation is already under way into the cause of the crash of the Uruguayan CASA-212 military aircraft, which had departed from Port-au-Prince on a surveillance flight over an area near the Haitian border with the Dominican Republic.
The mission has been in place in Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, since mid-2004 after the then president Jean-Bertrand Aristide went into exile amid violent unrest. Currently there are more than 9,000 military and police personnel deployed and nearly 2,000 civilian staff. Oct 10 2009 8:10PM

| BAN CALLS FOR DONOR SUPPORT TO TREAT MENTAL DISORDERS IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
New York, Oct 10 2009 1:10PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon used World Mental Health Day today to appeal for donor support to care for such disorders in developing countries and among lower income groups. "Mental disorders contribute more to disease burden and disability in developing countries than any other category of non-communicable disease, yet only a small minority of people with mental disorders in these countries have access to mental health services. The need is high, and care is inadequate," he said in a message marking the occasion. "Governments and public health organizations, civil society, multilateral agencies and donors must join hands to make this happen," he added, noting that effective treatments exist for a wide variety of mental disorders. Due to limited available human and financial resources, community-based primary care facilities must be involved in delivering these services
Moreover, providing effective services in primary care settings would help to reduce the stigma associated with mental disorders and could prevent unnecessary hospitalization and human rights violations of people with mental health problems. "Such a strategy makes good economic sense," Mr. Ban said. "Mental disorders impair the ability of children to learn and the ability of adults to function in families, at work and in society at large. It is also a pro-poor strategy. Research shows that mental disorders are overwhelmingly concentrated in lower income groups. Poverty and its associated stresses, which include unemployment, violence, social exclusion and constant insecurity, are closely linked to the onset of mental disorders." Oct 10 2009 1:10PM

| UN UNRIVALLED FOR ITS ABILITY TO BRING NATIONS TOGETHER TO SOLVE KEY ISSUES, OFFICIAL SAYS
New York, Oct 9 2009 7:10PM
The recent series of high-level events at United Nations Headquarters on issues including climate change, disarmament and food security shows that no other multilateral organization has the same capacity as the UN to bring together countries to resolve key issues, a top official with the world body said today.Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information, said "the United Nations was the talk of the town everywhere in the world" during the week of the high-level segment of the General Assembly's annual debate. In an interview with the UN News Centre, he said the climate change summit hosted by Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Security Council meeting on disarmament and the high-level gathering on food security all led to "outcomes that will have important implications for the work of the UN and the world. "Those high-level events attracted the attention of the media and the world public, and I believe that a whole range of issues and priorities of the United Nations received the needed attention of the world." Mr. Akasaka said "this year showed the important convening power of the United Nations, because you saw Mr. [Barack] Obama [of the United States] come to the UN for the first time, Mr. Hu Jintao of China come to the UN for the first time, Mr. [Dmitri] Medvedev from Russia for the first time, and [Yukio] Hatoyama [of Japan]. All the important leaders were here in New York to attend the high-level events. There is no other organization like the UN to be able to do that." The Under-Secretary-General singled out the climate change summit, which attracted more than 100 heads of State or government, making it the largest ever high-level gathering on the issue, as an extraordinary example of the UN's pulling power. He said the summit had played a critical role in both raising awareness about climate change issues and in bringing world leaders together to spur negotiations ahead of the global talks scheduled for Copenhagen in December. "One example of the momentum on the issue is the announcement by the Japanese Prime Minister, Mr. Hatoyama, to announce his country's proposal to reduce, by 2020, its greenhouse gases by 25 per cent. "That is a very big step forward to promote the negotiations and it is expected that that sort of bold initiative will encourage other major emitters or economies to do the same. As the negotiations are coming to the very final stage, that high-level event surely has played an important part in pushing forward the negotiations." Mr. Akasaka said the Security Council meeting on disarmament, chaired by Mr. Obama, helped build growing momentum on non-proliferation issue | | |  |
