UN chief urges support for Arab Spring nations

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon is urging world leaders at a time of crisis to take action to save the planet, prevent conflicts from erupting and support Mideast and North African nations in their quest for democracy.

In his annual address Wednesday to presidents, prime ministers and monarchs from the 193 U.N. member states, the U.N. chief singled out Syria for "special concern," accusing President Bashar Assad's government of reneging on promises to reform and demanding an immediate end to six months of violence.

During this year's ministerial meeting of the General Assembly the spotlight will be shining on the Palestinian bid for U.N. membership.

Ban said the Palestinians deserve a state, Israel needs security and the stalemate over reviving negotiations must be broken. He pledged the U.N.'s "unrelenting efforts to help achieve that peace through a negotiated settlement."
