Phoenix Local News UN MISSION HELPS LAUNCH SEARCH FOR LIBERIA'S YOUNG SINGING SENSATIONS October 6, 2009 at 4:10 pm UN MISSION HELPS LAUNCH SEARCH FOR LIBERIA'S YOUNG SINGING SENSATIONS New York, Oct 6 2009 4:10PM Young people across Liberia will get their shot at fame as national auditions get under way for a televised music contest in the West African country, the United Nations Mission in Liberia (<"http://unmil.org/index.asp">UNMIL) announced today as it helped launched the event. The talent hunt for Liberians under the age of 20 to compete in "A Star is Born" was launched at the weekend during a joint event, hosted by the Government and UNMIL in Monrovia, the capital. Describing music and culture as "uniting forces in any society that bring people together and help build a stronger Liberia for tomorrow," UNMIL Director of Mission Support Stephen Lieberman said the peacekeeping operation was proud to collaborate on the initiative with the Government and sponsors. "There is a price that comes with this – this is not free," said Mr. Lieberman. "We look at the musical talent as a way to help us to help you convey the message to all the people of Liberia; important messages for you the youth of Liberia and for the future of Liberia." The nationwide auditions for A Star is Born 2009-2010 series kicked off this week to select the 15 best singers who will be invited to a music academy in Monrovia. At the academy, the participants will attend workshops, including sessions on sexual exploitation and abuse, HIV/AIDS and good citizenship. In recent years, A Star is Born has produced young talents who have been instrumental in serving as role models for other young people and also helping to spread messages on social issues, UNMIL said in a news release. The weekend launch prominently featured last year's winner, Nicholas Buigar, who recently participated in a West African competition in Lagos, Nigeria, where he finished first runner-up.

Measles accounts for less than 2 per cent of deaths of children under the age of five in Rwanda, but "we have to ensure that children continue to remain protected from this life-threatening illness," said Joseph Foumbi, UN Resident Coordinator ad interim and UNICEF Representative in the country. Rwanda has made strides in slashing by half the number of under-five child deaths from preventable causes, from 196 per 1,000 live births in 2000 to 103 live births in 2007, UNICEF said in a press release issued in the district of Bugesera. The Health Weeks, which are held in several regions of the world, have proven to be an effective way to save lives at a low cost. During the drive in Rwanda this week, children under five will be vaccinated against measles and polio, with some also receiving Vitamin A capsules to boost their immune systems and mebendazole to fight parasitic infections. Over 45,000 people – volunteers, community health workers and local leaders – will fan out across the country to ensure that more than 1.5 million women and children are brought to vaccination sites and health centres to receive care.

Idelphonse Nizeyimana, former second in command for intelligence and military operations at an officers' school, was arrested in Kampala, Uganda, yesterday by the National Central Bureau of Interpol in collaboration with the tracking team of the UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) and <"http://www.ictr.org/ENGLISH/PRESSREL/2009/616.html">transferred today to the court's detention facility in Arusha, Tanzania. Mr. Nizeyimana, who faces five counts of genocide or complicity in genocide, direct and public incitement to commit genocide, and crimes against humanity, including ordering the execution of former Rwandan Queen Rosalie Gicanda, a symbolic figure for all Tutsis, is one of four top accused earmarked to be tried as part of the <"http://www.ictr.org/default.htm">ICTR completion strategy. Eleven accused are still at large out of the 81 people indicted for serious violations of international humanitarian law committed in Rwanda in 1994, when an estimated 800,000 ethnic Tutsis and Hutu moderates were killed by Hutu militants, mainly by machete, during a period of less than 100 days. Mr. Nizeyimana, through the chain of command, is alleged to have exercised authority over soldiers and personnel and was perceived as a member of the elite inner circle (Akazu) of the late President Juvenal Habyarimana. In August Grégoire Ndahimana, a high-level figure in the rebel Forces démocratiques de libération du Rwanda (FDLR), was arrested in the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and later handed over to ICTR in a transfer facilitated by the UN Mission in the DRC, known as <"http://monuc.unmissions.org/">MONUC. MONUC said Mr. Nizeyimana was also a key FDLR leader. "In this context, his arrest is an important step forward in the fight against impunity and strongly signals the Great Lakes region's commitment to peace and security," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said in a <"http://www.un.org/apps/sg/sgstats.asp?nid=4140">statement welcoming the arrest. This is the second time that Uganda has cooperated with the ICTR, which commended Interpol and the Ugandan authorities for their close cooperation. "It is hoped that the ICTR will continue receiving similar support from other member States at this critical junction of its work," the tribunal said in a statement.

The data, published by the International Telecommunications Union (<"http://www.itu.int/net/home/index.aspx">ITU), reveals that the ICT market continues to expand unabated, with subscriptions for mobile broadband services topping 600 million in 2009, outstripping fixed broadband by 100 million. More than a quarter of the world's population is now online and using the Internet, according to ITU's <"http://www.itu.int/ITU-D/ict/material/Telecom09_flyer.pdf"><I>The World in 2009: ICT facts and figures</I>. "ICTs are vital within developing countries to ensure that ordinary people can fully participate in the knowledge economy of the 21st century," said ITU Secretary-General Hamadoun Touré. "We have seen a positive impact on services such as health and education in markets where ICT growth has been strong," added Mr. Touré. However, despite making major inroads towards extending ICTs in developing countries, including a number of countries launching the latest networks and services, the statistics in ITU's publication highlight significant regional discrepancies with mobile penetration rates. "There is still a large digital divide, and an impending broadband divide, which needs to be addressed urgently," warned Sami Al Basheer, Director of ITU's Telecommunication Development Bureau. The report noted that in Africa there is only one fixed broadband subscriber for every 1,000 people, compared with Europe where there are some 200 subscribers per 1,000 people, and the relative price for ICT services, especially broadband, is highest in Africa, the region with the lowest income levels. "Heads of State and industry leaders will collaborate at ITU Telecom World 2009 to identify the right policies and regulations to support and encourage future ICT growth worldwide," said Mr. Al Basheer. In a related development, the world's most advanced system against global cyber-attacks was unveiled today at Telecom World in Geneva, a week-long gathering which brings together top names from across the ICT industry. IMPACT (the International Multilateral Partnership against Cyber Threats) set up its Global Response Centre (GRC) in Malaysia earlier this year as the international community's foremost cyber-threat resource, to proactively track and defend against menaces on the Internet. "Every country is now critically dependent on technology for commerce, finance, health care, emergency services, food distribution and more," <"http://www.itu.int/newsroom/press_releases/2009/40.html">said Mr. Touré, who spoke at the presentation. "Loss of vital networks would quickly cripple any nation, and none is immune to cyber-attack." Mr. Al-Basheer said that by facilitating the access for ITU Member States to a global platform, "we are realizing effective international cooperation. This is the very first time that so many nations are agreeing to work together to achieve a global culture of cyber-security, and we hope that all 191 ITU Member States will benefit from this unique initiative."

In a new <"http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=s/2009/503">report to the Security Council, Mr. Ban cites a number of areas where the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) has made headway, including fostering reconciliation between itself and opposition groups, drafting the constitution and building a national security apparatus. "I urge the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia to stay the course, and I appeal to the international community to redouble its support and rally solidly behind the Government," he writes. Mr. Ban notes that further progress to promote the peace process requires greater capacity on the part of the TFG to consolidate its authority, deliver administration and basic services, and effectively manage the transition. "The sustained support of the international community will constitute a key contribution to this end," he says. The Secretary-General states that the UN stands firmly by the African Union and its peacekeeping mission in Somalia, known as AMISOM, and pledges to continue its support of the force's deployment and operations. He says stabilizing the security situation in the capital, Mogadishu, remains a critical prerequisite to foster the peace process, as demonstrated by the 17 September suicide attack on AMISOM's headquarters in which more than 20 members of the force were killed. The UN will not be deterred by violent attacks by insurgents and will remain committed to continuing support to AMISOM, the TFG and the Somali people to facilitate reconciliation and consolidate the political process, Mr. Ban states, while calling again on the international community to boost support to the AU Mission and Government security forces. He adds that a more secure environment would also further facilitate the delivery of humanitarian assistance in the country, where half the population of nearly 7 million is dependent on aid. There are around 1.5 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the country, and another 160,000 people have been uprooted since early May by fighting between Government forces and Al Shabaab and Hisb-ul-Islam opposition groups. Mr. Ban states that he remains "deeply concerned" about the worsening humanitarian crisis in Somalia, noting that assassinations, abductions and threats against aid workers have rendered the delivery of assistance extremely dangerous, while ongoing fighting and drought are increasing the need for life-saving support. "I call upon all parties to help create conditions conducive to safe, timely and unhindered humanitarian access and to cooperate with humanitarian actors to this end." He also voices concern about the lack of adequate funding for priority humanitarian and recovery programmes, and urges Member States to support efforts in that regard. "It is necessary to avoid disruption of critical activities, including the delivery of essential food supplies, on which the civilian population depends," he says. "Failure to do so could have serious implications for displacement and consequences for regional stability."

At least 300 people were killed when Tropical Storm Ketsana (also known as Ondoy) slammed into the South-East Asian nation last week, displacing hundreds of thousands. The devastation wrought by that deadly storm was amplified by Typhoon Parma, which made landfall in recent days, affecting 70,000 people. That storm struck an area focused on agriculture, resulting in a nearly $120 million loss in crops. Pre-emptively, 35,000 people were evacuated, but the number of people sheltering camps is expected to rise to 100,000. Elizabeth Byrs, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (<"http://ochaonline.un.org/">OCHA), told reporters in Geneva that it is still too early to determine the total number of people who have lost their homes and are in need of aid. Some 400,000 people are living in emergency shelters around the hard-hit capital, Manila, with many expected to return to their homes once the water has receded. The UN World Food Programme (<"http://www.wfp.org/">WFP) is asking for $26 million as part of the larger $74 million appeal to fund its three-month emergency operation, already under way, to support the Government's efforts by providing rice, beans and other food in the worst-hit areas of Manila and surrounding areas. The agency is also giving logistical support to allow humanitarian agencies to access remote areas. WFP said today that it is also rushing helicopters and inflatable boats to reach flood victims in remote areas with humanitarian aid. "Many needy people live in areas that still remain inaccessible because of the widespread flooding," said Stephen Anderson, the agency's Country Director in the Philippines. Seven boats, the first of 30 requested by the Government, arrived today in Manila, while two of three helicopters, also asked for by authorities, are set to land in the country tomorrow. Without these boats and helicopters, Mr. Anderson said, "the massive Government-led relief effort would not be able to reach people who are really desperate, sometimes neck-deep in water." For its part, the UN Children's Fund (<"http://www.unicef.org/">UNICEF) has identified access to drinking water as the major concern in the wake of the devastating storms, with some parts of the country having been flooded with stagnant water now for many days. Additionally, some evacuation centres are filled beyond their capacity, raising concern over possible health risks, with cases of diarrhoea and skin diseases already being reported. UNICEF, which is asking for nearly $13 million from the wider appeal launched today, has already distributed hundreds of hygiene kids, and its Executive Director Ann Veneman is set to visit Manila tomorrow to assess the situation first-hand. Appealing for $7 million today was the World Health Organization (<"http://www.who.int/en/">WHO), which reported that it is sending medical supplies since nearly two dozen hospitals and health centres have been damaged by flooding.

"A society cannot thrive if its youngest members are forced into early marriage, abused as sex workers or denied their basic rights," UN Children's Fund (<"http://www.unicef.org/protection/index_51312.html">UNICEF) Executive Director Ann M. Veneman said in Tokyo on the release of the report, which calls for improving child protection systems and promoting social change. "Understanding the extent of abuses of children's rights is a first step to building an environment where children are protected and have the opportunity to reach their full potential," she added of the report which covers issues ranging from sexual abuse and child marriage to physical punishment and genital mutilation. While progress is being made in reducing some violations of children's rights, not enough is yet known about the extent of abuses against children and violence and exploitation remain a harsh reality, according to the report, <"http://www.unicef.org/protection/files/Progress_for_Children-No.8_EN_081309(1).pdf"><I>Progress for Children: A Report Card on Child Protection</I>. Some abuses, such as sexual exploitation and trafficking, are usually committed in conditions of secrecy and illegality, which makes collection of accurate data challenging. Child labour reaps a particularly heavy toll with 150 million youngsters aged between five and 14 in the work force. The report gathers together for the first time data on a range of issues, including sexual abuse and trafficking, child marriage, physical punishment of children, child labour, birth registration, the harmful traditional practice of female genital cutting, and attitudes toward violence against women inside marriage. Where data are available, some progress is evident. For example, in Bangladesh, Guinea and Nepal, where child marriage is prevalent, the median age of marriage is rising, although it is still below 18. The report also cites a slow decline in female genital mutilation in countries where such abuse is common. It finds that more than half the children in detention worldwide have not been tried or sentenced, while in some regions, the births of two out of three children were not registered in 2007, with less than 5 per cent of births registered in Somalia and Liberia. Without a birth certificate youngsters are more vulnerable to sexual exploitation, trafficking and illegal adoption. Another finding shows that more than half of women and girls in developing countries think that wife-beating is acceptable and, younger women are as likely to justify wife-beating as older women. In most regions, neglecting the children is the most commonly cited justification for wife-beating. "The evidence of continuing harm and abuse must inspire the world to greater effort to guarantee the rights of all children, everywhere," Ms. Veneman said.

The exercise takes place in the wake of the tsunami that killed more than 100 people in Samoa last month, "providing a sober reminder that coastal communities everywhere need to be aware and prepared for such events," stated the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (<"http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=29008&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html">UNESCO). Following the 2004 tsunami, UNESCO -- through its Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) -- helped countries in the region set up the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (IOTWS). The upcoming drill - - known as "Exercise Indian Ocean Wave 09" -- will test and evaluate the effectiveness of the system, identify weaknesses and areas of improvement, as well as aim to increase preparedness and improve coordination throughout the region. The exercise will replicate the magnitude 9.2 earthquake that occurred off the northwest coast of Sumatra, Indonesia, in 2004, generating a destructive tsunami affecting countries from Australia to South Africa. The simulated tsunami will spread in real time across the entire Indian Ocean, taking approximately 12 hours to travel from Indonesia to the coast of South Africa. Bulletins will be issued by the Japan Meteorogical Agency (JMA) in Tokyo and the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center (PTWC) in Hawaii, United States, which have served as the interim advisory services since 2005. The recently established Regional Tsunami Watch Providers (RTWP) in Australia, India and Indonesia will also participate in the exercise and will share experimental real ti me bulletins between themselves only. Countries participating in next week's drill are Australia, Bangladesh, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Madagascar, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritius, Mozambique, Myanmar, Oman, Pakistan, Seychelles, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Tanzania and Timor-Leste. A similar drill was held in October 2008 to test the Pacific Tsunami Warning and Mitigation System (PTWS). Such early warning systems have also been set up in the Caribbean, the Mediterranean and Northeast Atlantic Ocean and connected seas. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon today highlighted the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in addressing key issues, including natural disaster reduction. "Through good climate science and information sharing, ICTs can help reduce the risk and impact of natural disasters," he <"http://www.un.org/apps/sg/sgstats.asp?nid=4138">told heads of State and Chief Executive Officers attending Telecom World 2009 in Geneva. "When an earthquake hits, a coordinated IC T system can monitor developments, send out emergency messages and help people to cope." Organized by the UN International Telecommunication Union (<"http://www.itu.int/net/home/index.aspx">ITU), Telecom World is a unique event for the ICT community which brings together the top names from across the industry and around the world. This year's forum highlights the reach and role of telecommunications and ICT in areas such as the digital divide, climate change, and disaster relief.

During the talks on 4 October, both Ad Melkert, the Secretary-General's Special Representative, and Grand Ayatollah Al-Sistani raised the issue of pending electoral legislation, according to a <"http://www.uniraq.org/newsroom/getarticle.asp?ArticleID=1142">news release issued by the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (<"http://www.uniraq.org/">UNAMI). Mr. Melkert underscored the urgent need for the Council of Representatives to pass the Election Law, while Grand Ayatollah Al-Sistani expressed his strong support for the electoral process and for broad participation in next year's parliamentary elections. The Special Representative, who also heads UNAMI, told the religious leaders of how the mission has stepped up its work in the political, humanitarian and human rights fields. Last month, he welcomed what he described as growing confidence in the electoral process in Iraq, giving his backing to the voter registration process ahead of the polls. "The importance of next January's elections for the future of Iraq cannot be overstated," Mr. Melkert said in remarks at a voter registration centre at Omar Mukhtar Secondary School in the capital, Baghdad. "The number of people taking part in the registration update is an indicator of the growing confidence in the electoral process and the will of the Iraqi people to rebuild their country."

Bayo Ohu, the assistant news editor of the Nigerian daily newspaper, The Guardian, was shot dead in his home on 20 September as he was preparing to attend church, according to a <"http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=46544&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html">news release issued by the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (<"http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.php-URL_ID=29008&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html">UNESCO). "The shooters removed the victim's laptop and mobile phone from the house, leading to speculation that the killing may have been linked to his work as a journalist, according to the International Press Institute (IPI)," the news release added. UNESCO Director-General Koïchiro Matsuura spoke out against the killing, stating that freedom of expression is a basic human right and its corollary, press freedom, is essential for democracy and rule of law. "Therefore, I trust that the authorities, in the interest of the whole of Nigerian society, will do all they can to bring the culprits of this crime to justice," Mr. Matsuura said.

10/6 Phoenix Local News October 6, 2009 at 12:00 am

Phoenix Local News BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE MAKING OF A FLAGSHIP UN REPORT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT October 5, 2009 at 9:10 pm BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE MAKING OF A FLAGSHIP UN REPORT ON HUMAN DEVELOPMENT New York, Oct 5 2009 9:10PM A year and a half ago, researchers at the United Nations Development Programme (<"http://www.undp.org/">UNDP) sent a series of emails to thousands of people around the world. Those messages marked the first steps in a long and detailed journey that culminated in today's release of the latest edition of what has become one of the UN's flagship publications – the <I>Human Development Report</I>. The UNDP emails went to the "human development network" – the academics, government officials, UN staff, civil society groups and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) who specialize in the field, canvassing their views on an appropriate theme for this year's edition. The consensus was migration, and soon the researchers began work on background papers, starting the lengthy process that formed the heart of the project: gathering, sifting and analyzing reams of data from Norway to Niger to produce the <"http://www.undp.org/hdr2009.shtml">report. "We started with a concept note," explains Francisco Rodríguez, the head of the research team for the HDR, which comprises about 25 staff working full-time at both headquarters in New York and in offices in the field. "Just a four- to five-page outline with the idea and a tentative structure, and that was it." Less than 20 years after it was first issued, the annual HDR has acquired a reputation as the heavyweight document in its field. Mr. Rodríguez notes that it is cited more often by development academics than any other publication by an international organization. Its accompanying index ranking the world's countries has also become a favourite of media outlets, national governments and lobby groups. But it all starts with those emails, laying the groundwork for what UNDP hopes – the fallibility of statistics notwithstanding – will be a comprehensive measure of how the world is faring in efforts to achieve human development. Mr. Rodríguez says it's easy to forget just how radical the HDR was considered when it was introduced in 1990, an era when gross domestic product (GDP) per capita was regarded as the standard measure of human development. "It was really revolutionary. It changed the way a lot of policy-makers and academics see development, that we have go beyond income to measure it. Its main strength is that it gives an alternative to a still very common uni-dimensional view of development, one that still emphasizes economic growth." Now, as the definition has expanded, indicators of school enrolment rates, literacy and life expectancy – which are all part of the report – have become central to the debate. "Human development is really about how we can expand opportunities for people," says Mr. Rodríguez, noting that the report could be even broader and more useful if it incorporated the elements that researchers find hard to measure, such as human rights, culture and the impact of climate change. Accurate, meaningful data on inequality, especially within a country, have long been hard to obtain, but Mr. Rodríguez says recent breakthroughs mean that is likely to change starting next year. In any case, Mr. Rodríguez and his team have already started work on that edition (an anniversary review of the HDR and how it can be improved) and soon, he says, another set of emails will need to be sent out – about possible topics for 2011.

Mr. McLaughlin worked on many projects during his long career, but he will be most remembered for his iconic UN logo design. It is now one of the most recognized symbols in the world, emblazoned on peacekeepers' helmets in the field, on helicopters and trucks carrying aid, and on leaflets distributed to remote corners of the globe, as well as posters, books, postcards and all manner of UN promotional products. "The United Nations lost a true friend and hero with the passing away of Donal McLaughlin Jr.," said Kiyo Akasaka, Under-Secretary-General for Communications and Public Information. "The beautiful UN emblem that is now recognized by all peoples around the world was drawn many years ago by Mr. McLaughlin and his team of artists," said Mr. Akasaka. "The design stemmed from Mr. McLaughlin's artistry and imagination – and from the knowledge that he was taking part in something meaningful and significant." A native New Yorker and Yale University-trained architect, Mr. McLaughlin graduated at the height of the Great Depression and worked on a series of high-profile projects, including the 1939 World's Fair in the United States and the Tiffany and Company's flagship store in Manhattan. During World War II, Mr. McLaughlin joined the US Office of Strategic Services (OSS), the war-time precursor to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), working mostly on espionage-related designs, such as cigarette-paper packages showing diagrammatic instructions for derailing German trains. The team – headed by architect and industrial designer Oliver Lundquist, who died in January – was tasked with all the graphic design for the UN Conference on International Organization, the historic 1945 San Francisco Conference of delegates from 50 allied nations who drafted the UN Charter. The team of designers brainstormed the seemingly small task of creating an image for the delegates pin. Mr. McLaughlin's draft was chosen and later became the prototype for the UN logo used today. Although he did not know it at the time, "Mr. McLaughlin's emblem would in the years that followed become an enduring symbol of peace that would live far beyond his lifetime," said Mr. Akasaka. "The design stemmed from Mr. McLaughlin's artistry and imagination and from the knowledge that he was taking part in something meaningful and significant," he added. His design was a view of the atlas from the North Pole down, including all the continents except for Antarctica and placing North America in the centre, with the conference's name, date and location within a circle. Other members of the team nestled the globe first between crossed laurel branches and then two olive branches. A revised version of the design was officially adopted as the United Nations emblem by resolution 92(I) on 7 December 1946, which had modifications to the colours and centred the continents along the international dateline. Mr. McLaughlin, who as a young man dreamed of seeing his designs in brick and stone but used to joke that he is best known for a button, passed away on 27 September at his home in Garrett Park, Maryland, leaving behind three children, six grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.

While in the Swiss city, Ms. Migiro will meet with a group of Geneva-based members of UN+, an advocacy group comprising staff members living with HIV, as well as with other UN organizations. From there, she will travel to Brussels to launch the 2008 Partnership Report between the UN and the European Union.

"Within hours after the catastrophes hit, UN agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) began working in support of national authorities to respond to the immediate humanitarian needs in these countries," said UN Development Programme (<"http://content.undp.org/go/newsroom/2009/october/uns-rapid-response-to-help-countries-battered-by-deadly-disasters-across-asia.en">UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark in Bangkok, where she is holding meetings. "UNDP is now preparing to support countries' plans for longer-term recovery after waters recede and rubble is cleared," she added, noting that with rapid support teams had already been sent to Cambodia, Laos and the Philippines, which have been inundated by typhoon-spawned flood waters, and Bhutan, Indonesia, Samoa and Tonga, which were hit by earthquakes and/or subsequent tsunamis. In the Philippines, Typhoon Parma reached the far northern province of Cagayan over the weekend, a week after Typhoon Ketsana (also known as Ondoy) inundated Manila, the capital, and affected more than 3.1 million people. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, (OCHA) said nearly 870,000 people are in more than 720 evacuation shelters. The UN World Food Programme (<"http://www.wfp.org/stories/philippines-wfp-reach-1-million-people-flood-zones">WFP) is mounting a three-month emergency operation. In the Indonesian island of Sumatra the confirmed death toll from three earthquakes last week stands at 603 but is expected to rise significantly, since thousands are trapped and feared dead in the collapsed buildings in Padang, the provincial capital. A nine-member UN Disaster Assessment and Coordination (UNDAC) team has been deployed there. Nevertheless, nearly 70,000 children have returned to classes in Padang, according to local education authorities, as the UN Children's Fund (<"http://www.unicef.org/media/media_51292.html">UNICEF) rushed school supplies to the region, rapidly erecting the first of 250 classroom tents, as part of its initial support to re-starting education, along with school materials and recreational equipment. "This is an important sign that life will return to normal for children affected by this tragedy," UNICEF Country Representative in Indonesia Angela Kearney said. "Many children I have met amidst the shattered buildings of Padang expressed their fears for the future – they are worried about more shocks, about losing their homes, and about never going back to school again. Today, children can see that schools will re-open, and that they will be able to continue their learning. It's a first step towards bringing the comfort and reassurance that these children so desperately need." Food, tents and emergency shelter, medical supplies, hygiene kits, petrol, generators, heavy equipment, water and sanitation assistance, education and post-traumatic counseling have been identified as priority needs in Sumatra. In American Samoa, Samoa and Tonga's northern island of Niuatoputapu, where more than 120 are now confirmed dead, and waves destroyed homes and public infrastructure including sea walls, hospitals, schools, roads and tourist resorts, UNDP has made available emergency grants to support coordination efforts, a needs assessment and an early recovery plan. After wreaking havoc in the Philippines, Typhoon Ketsana moved into Viet Nam. But with warning of the impending storm, approximately 200,000 people were evacuated by national emergency services. "Early warning saves lives," Ms. Clark said. "With the increasing impact of climate change, this area of our work will need to grow in order to help those most vulnerable to disasters," she added. Unexpected floods also wrought havoc in South India. Even Bhutan was not spared from disaster when an earthquake in the east of the remote mountainous country killed 12 people, and damaged nearly 43,500 homes, 89 schools and more than 115 Government offices and 400 monasteries. A joint World Bank and UN damage assessment has begun in two affected districts.

The Congolese refugees from a region of South Kivu province which borders with Burundi have refused to relocate to a newly established camp further east and decided instead to return west to the Uvira region of South Kivu, their homeland. For months, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (<"http://www.unhcr.org/pages/49c3646c23f.html">UNHCR) and Burundian authorities have led an intensive information campaign to prepare the refugees for voluntary relocation, part of a consolidation exercise involving the closure of the makeshift camp housing this particular group of Congolese until last week. Since the start of the information campaign, only 264 refugees have agreed to relocate, the rest refusing to move, citing fears for their safety in the new Bwagiriza camp because of its proximity to a rival Congolese community in Tanzania, despite UNHCR assurances that the camp is a safe 60 kilometres away from that border. Gihinga camp – which has been accommodating the Congolese – officially closed last week, and some 2,300 refugees informed Burundian authorities today of their planned departure to South Kivu. UNHCR have urged the Congolese to stay in Burundi as the violent armed conflict between Government forces and various rebel militia in eastern DRC means their safety cannot be guaranteed by the agency or Government authorities, and no assistance can be offered. Moreover, the conditions still prevail which forced the refugees into exile in June 2004, as well as the Gatumba massacre a few months later, when Burundi's ethnic Hutu rebel Forces Nationales de Liberation (FNL) slaughtered 160 Tutsi Congolese in a camp, said UNHCR. "UNHCR does not go against refugees' will to go back to their country and had been helping some of them to return to South Kivu," said Clementine Nkweta-Salami, UNHCR Representative in Burundi. "However, we have already been forced to suspend that repatriation operation earlier this year because of the military operations," said Ms. Nkweta-Salami. "Under these conditions, it would be irresponsible to allow refugees to expose themselves to almost certain risk through the decision to return."

The visit was announced following talks between IAEA Director General Mohammed ElBaradei and Iranian authorities in Tehran yesterday, during which they discussed arrangements for the agency's access to the plant which is under construction in Qom. The Vienna-based IAEA was informed late last month by Iran about the construction of a new enrichment plant. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said last week that the facility violates Security Council resolutions because of the delay in its disclosure. During his recent talks in New York with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Mr. Ban repeated his call for the country to implement Security Council resolutions and cooperate with the IAEA on resolving outstanding concerns regarding its nuclear programme. Iran has stated that its nuclear programme is for peaceful purposes, but some other countries contend it is driven by military ambitions. The issue has been of international concern since the discovery in 2003 that the country had concealed its nuclear activities for 18 years in breach of its obligations under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). Meanwhile, a nuclear fuel supply concept for the Tehran Research Reactor was agreed during talks held in Geneva on 1 October between Iranian officials and representatives from China, France, Germany, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The concept will be discussed further at a technical meeting, hosted by the IAEA, on 19 October.

The Human Development Index (HDI), which combines measure of life expectancy, literacy, school enrolment and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita, was this year calculated for 182 countries and territories – a record number – and released today as part of the annual Human Development Report. The report's lead author Jeni Klugman said "progress has been uneven" worldwide, despite significant overall improvements over the past 30 years. "Many countries have experienced setbacks over recent decades, in the face of economic downturns, conflict-related crises and the HIV and AIDS epidemic," Ms. Klugman said. "And this was even before the impact of the current global financial crisis was felt." She noted that some countries have made particularly strong progress since 1980 in health and education, especially compared to incomes. "While the closing of the gaps in many health and education indicators is good news, the persistent inequality in the distribution of world incomes should continue to be a source of concern for policy-makers and international institutions." Norway, Australia and Iceland remain the top-ranked countries on the HDI, which is based on data gathered in 2007, the most recent year that full statistics were available. Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, France, Switzerland and Japan complete the top 10. They are among 38 countries and territories classified as having "very high" human development, a new category reserved for those nations with the highest indicators. Across the entire HDI, five countries rose by three or more places: France, Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and China, due largely to improvements in life expectancy and incomes. Luxembourg, Malta, Ecuador, Lebanon, Belize, Tonga and Jamaica all slid in the rankings by three or more places. Niger, Afghanistan and Sierra Leone are at the bottom of the rankings, and Ms. Klugman noted the enormous differences in the life of a child born in Niger to that of one born in Norway. The Norwegian child can expect to live 30 years longer and will grow up to earn an average of $85 for every $1 earned by the person in Niger.

"Such cooperation is necessary for the normalization of the situation in Kosovo and for the stabilization and development of the western Balkans as a whole," Mr. Ban wrote in his latest <"http://www.un.org/Docs/journal/asp/ws.asp?m=S/2009/497">report on the UN Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (<"http://www.unmikonline.org/">UNMIK), which took over in 1999 after North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces drove out Yugoslav troops amid deadly fighting with the majority ethnic Albanian population. Last February, Kosovo declared its independence, in a move rejected by Serbia, and the UN has remained neutral on the issue. Three Kosovo Serb-majority municipalities in the north have few links to authorities in Pristina, and consider UNMIK and the NATO-led Kosovo Force, or KFOR, as the only legitimate international presence. Some Kosovo Serb leaders view the European Union mission (EULEX) as supporting Pristina's interests, the report said. The UN mission has continued to engage with all of the communities daily to facilitate dialogue and ensure links with Pristina. "It is important to underscore the unique role of UNMIK in providing mediation services to both communities and international organizations operating in the north," the Secretary-General underscored. "As the security situation in northern Kosovo remains tense, I urge all sides to show pragmatism and restraint, and to adopt constructive policies I dealing with sensitive inter-ethnic issues," he said. In June, Kosovo's authorities announced that municipal elections will beheld on 15 November, but Kosovo Serbs in the north have refused to recognize or accept the upcoming polls. Also, for the first time since its deployment in 1999, UNMIK has not been designated a role in the elections and is, therefore, not expected to certify the results. The mission, Mr. Ban wrote, has entered a new phase following the completion on 1 July of its reconfiguration, in response to the prevailing situation on the ground after Kosovo's declaration of independence, reaching its authorized strength of 510 personnel.
