Countdown nears for final 1,000 days of MDGs

Friday marks the start of the last 1,000 days for creating and implementing the Millennium Development Goals. Social media campaigns will highlight the MDG achievements as well as spur where it is needed. "Organizations will rally their supporters to share their stories about what has been working and what can be done to advance the MDGs moving forward in the post-2015 agenda," GOOD writes.

As member states gather to discuss a global #ArmsTreaty, a few myths have come up. Check out the facts: http://bit.ly/10kOFJ1

"Treaties like this typically operate on the [principle] of consensus. Countries negotiate the text in such a way that [every] country on the planet can sign it. But Iran, North Korea and Syria refused to approve the draft text last week, therefore blocking universal consensus. Instead of letting these spoilers kill the whole treaty, the action is moving to the General Assembly for a vote on the final text."
