 UN Standard Rules - DAA Update Number 20
As we reported last month, the UN Special Rapporteur, in his final report of his second period of monitoring, made several suggestions for future actions to promote implementation of the Standard Rules and human rights.
In this context it is a unique coincidence that the two UN Commissions, responsible for the development in the social field and in human rights, have put disability on their agendas for meetings in February and March/April this year.
Judging from the resolution 98/31 by the UN Commission on Human Rights, it seems possible to create such a link and to form a Convention on broad principal terms and refer the ways of implementation to the guide-lines of the UN Standard Rules.

 The MSDS HyperGlossary: UN and NA numbers
United Nations (UN) Numbers are four-digit numbers used world-wide in international commerce and transportation to identify hazardous chemicals or classes of hazardous materials.
UN numbers are assigned by a committee of the United Nations, the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) Committee of Experts (COE) on the Transport of Dangerous Goods which issues "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods" (also called "the Orange Book").
UN numbers uniquely identify only a very small number of chemicals (less than 10,000), unlike CAS Registry Numbers, which are assigned to each of the 19,000,000 unique chemical compounds that have been discovered.

 To speak or not to speak, Fernand de Varennes   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
As explained in another part of this report, the UN Declaration does not mention the freedom of expression, which protects the private use of language in many situations that are often crucial for the survival and use of minority languages.
Article 2 of the UN Declaration appears limited, as far as linguistic minorities are concerned, to the recognition of the right of persons to use their own language "in private and in public, freely and without interference or any form of discrimination".
The UN Declaration does not in itself impose a further obligation on the state to provide the resources so that persons belonging to a linguistic minority can establish and maintain their own private schools, nor does it require that states provide public schooling where a minority language is used as medium of instruction.

 Scoop: UN To Increase Number Of Staff In Iraq
Secretary-General Kofi Annan announced today that he intends to increase the number of United Nations staff in Iraq, which he cut back after last year’s terrorist bombing of UN headquarters in Baghdad, and has ordered a review of security conditions in the violence-wracked country in order to move as soon as practicable.
Annan withdrew most of the 650 international personnel in Iraq after a terrorist attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad in August 2003 killed 22 people, including top envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello, and he has repeatedly stressed that staff security is of paramount concern in deciding on any large-scale return.

In addition, users will have to reboot their computers before the PSN mode can be changed, reducing the chance that the PSN could be turned on without their knowledge, he said.
Web sites that want to use the PSN will also warn users that they are entering an area where their processor serial number could be identified, he added.
