1 May 2015

• International Day for Free and Varied Press will be commemorated on 3 May. A brief gathering at U.N. Headquarters will take place during a meeting of the Committee on Information. Let's hope next year a more elaborate ceremony would be held.

• A new UN envoy in Cyprus is expecting to capitalize on verbal commitment by Greek and Turkish community leaders to negotiate...again. A repetition of the same kind of statement is likely to be issued next year.

• Another "high level" forum will "seek answers to questions on how to make sustainable development reality." Same question in another year.
