Ban said that now "is the time for healing and rebuilding, and not for revenge." Navi Pillay, the world body's High Commissioner for Human Rights, today called for an investigation into Gadhafi's death in light of conflicting accounts.

The key diplomatic moment that set into motion the chain of events that lead to today was Arab League calling for intervention in Libya." UN Dispatch Security Council to respond to Yemen crisis The United Nations Security Council is expected to vote today on a resolution responding to an ongoing crackdown against pro-reform demonstrators in Yemen that calls for those responsible to be held accountable for the violence. Western diplomats hope the resolution, crafted by British officials, will win unanimous approval. Reuters (10/20)      North Korea holds 200,000 political prisoners, UN says Up to 200,000 people are reportedly being held in political prisons throughout North Korea, Marzuki Darusman, special rapporteur on human rights in the country, told the UN General Assembly on Thursday. Recent satellite images show what Darusman called "a significant increase" in the size and capacity of the camps over the past decade. Google/The Associated Press (10/20)      Palestinians offer backup plan to full UN membership Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he would freeze some construction of Jewish settlements in the West Bank if Mahmoud Abbas, president of the Palestinian Authority, agrees to resume direct peace talks -- potentially mediated by Colombia. Should the pending bid by Palestinians for full UN membership fail, negotiators have said they would seek elevation of Palestinian status at the world body from observer to non-member state -- leading to access to international agencies such as the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court.

Natural disaster patterns and the potential for the collapse of technological systems are among the factors humanitarian planners should be more closely examining. AlertNet (10/20)      A look into a lab on front lines of anti-malaria fight A laboratory of the nonprofit research institute Seattle BioMed is breeding large numbers of mosquitoes in warm, soupy trays in order to dissect, modify and breed them before sicking them on human trial volunteers in an effort to learn how best to eradicate the disease. Eliminating malaria is not possible without a vaccine, says scientist Stefan Kappe.

Drought, floods and other severe weather events will affect areas of Africa and Asia that are home to between 114 million and 192 million by the year 2060, the report warns.

The six-month NATO-led air campaign over Libya, which contributed greatly to the defeat of forces loyal to strongman Moammar Gadhafi by National Transitional Council fighters, is being seen by some as a new template for future military intervention. After Gadhafi's capture and death Thursday, the role of the alliance in Libya is being reassessed.
