UN Dispatch UN agency criticizes Iran's nuclear activities The International Atomic Energy Agency condemned Iran's continued disregard of demands to halt uranium enrichment that could lead to the development of nuclear weapons. The IAEA resolution, which acknowledged Iran's right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy, drew the support of Russia and China. Iran's IAEA delegate, Ali Asghar Soltanieh, rejected the resolution as trying to penetrate Iran's national security. Bloomberg Businessweek/The Associated Press (9/13)      UN identifies 16 nations that fail to protect critics Government critics and human rights defenders in 16 nations have been subjected to measures ranging from threats and harassment to beatings, torture and murder, according to UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay. Speaking before the UN Human Rights Council, she decried "a lack of accountability" in the majority of these cases. The Washington Post/The Associated Press (9/13)      Other News FAO sees no immediate food crisis AlertNet/Reuters (9/13)      Ebola outbreak in DR Congo threatens large towns If not brought under control immediately, an outbreak of the deadly Ebola virus in the Democratic Republic of Congo could spread to major population centers, the World Health Organization has warned. The outbreak is believed to have been caused by tainted bush meat. "If nothing is done now, the disease will reach other places, and even major towns will be threatened," said WHO spokesman Eugene Kabambi. Reuters (9/13)      New Mongolian mine is already having an economic impact Mongolia's vast Oyu Tolgoi mine, scheduled to open next month, already accounts for about 30% of the nation's annual economic output. The gold and copper mine, which has been in development for a decade, is a joint venture of the Mongolian government and a Canadian company, Turquoise Hill Resources.

A foreign ministry statement said that Russia found any Kyoto extensions "ineffective" and instead would focus on a new UN plan to reach international agreement on greenhouse gas emissions by 2015 that would apply to developed and developing countries. Reuters (9/13)      Shrinking ice may cause extreme winter weather The loss of Arctic sea ice, which is shrinking faster than expected, may cause extreme weather in North America and Europe this winter, say experts. The ice, which is the smallest size ever recorded, would historically build up over many years, but now new formations melt each summer. While the loss may open up new shipping lanes, it also affects weather patterns and wildlife.
