The Push for Peace in Syria
On 21 April 2012 the Security Council authorized the establishment of the United Nations Supervision Mission in Syria (UNSMIS)-made up of unarmed military observers-to monitor the cessation of violence there and to support the full implementation of the peace plan put forward by special envoy Kofi Annan. The violence in the country, which began last year following protests, has claimed over 9,000 lives, mostly civilians, and displaced tens of thousands.
The Road to Rio+20
The United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development, or Rio+20, will take place this June in Brazil to mark the 20th anniversary of the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development, in Rio de Janeiro, and the 10th anniversary of the 2002 World Summit on Sustainable Development in Johannesburg. For Rio+20, the UN is again bringing together leaders from governments, the private sector, and NGOs to agree on measures that can reduce poverty while promoting sustainable use of resources.
