This is a key innovation for resource strapped places like Somalia because in one jab, a child is provided immunization against 5 preventable childhood illnesses (hepatitis B, diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, and meningitis)." UN Dispatch (5/2) Share:      United Nations UN votes to aid Somalia, won't send peacekeepers The United Nations Security Council on Thursday voted to open an assistance mission office in Somalia to help the country rebuild its government. The UN won't be sending peacekeepers, leaving that role to the African Union. The Edmonton Journal (Alberta)/The Associated Press (5/2) Share:      Moratorium on autonomous drones is urged by Human Rights Council The United Nations Human Rights Council is calling for a global moratorium on the "testing, production, assembly, transfer, acquisition, deployment and use" of "lethal autonomous robotics" until rules for their use can be crafted. A report on such "killer robots" has been released, and the findings will be discussed at a Human Rights Council meeting May 29 in Geneva.

But badly coordinated plans can create unrealistic expectations from the affected communities and create headaches for aid workers, he argues. AlertNet (5/2) Share:        Peacekeeping and Security Justice proceeds slowly in Cote d'Ivoire Cote d'Ivoire is pursuing justice in the wake of polling violence during 2010 and 2011, but it is biased in its approach, observers say. "The one-sided approach to accountability is likely due in part to the president's still tenuous hold over the entire military," says Human Rights Watch. IRINNews.org (5/3) Share:      DR Congo province remains cut off from humanitarian aid The Democratic Republic of Congo's Katanga province has been inaccessible to aid workers for months, leading to severe malnutrition of the population. "There is a lack of basic services in every sector -- health, water, nutrition and agriculture -- and the conflict and displacement make an already bad situation much worse," says UNICEF's Quoc Nguyen.
