A one-stop guide to UN issues in the news, with easy access to statements, resolutions and other essential resources
Protests and calls for reform sweep across the region
The lessons of the past year are eloquent and clear: The winds of change will not cease to blow. The flame ignited in Tunisia will not be dimmed. Let us remember, as well: none of these great changes began with a call for a regime change. First and foremost, people wanted dignity. They want an end to corruption. They want a say in their future. They want jobs and justice, a fair share of political power. They want their human rights.
