The United Nations in the Heart of Europe | News & Media | UNITED NATIONS EXPERT URGES TUNISIA TO PLACE HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE RIGHT TO EDUCATION AT THE HEART OF ITS REFORMS: TUNIS/GENEVA – The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the right to education, Kishore Singh, today urged* the Tunisian Government to keep the country’s rendezvous with history by placing human rights and the right to education at the heart of the historic reforms taking place in Tunisia.

Tunisie, "B�ji Ca�d Essebsi nous a laiss�un Etat gripp�" (�conomiste) | Temps Fort: Si la confiance est r�tablie, si la loi est respect�e, si on arr�te les abus de corruption, et que personne ne soit prot�g�e ni ministre, ni homme d’affaires, les investissements vont venir.

Considering that protests have taken place in 100 US and 1,500 cities around the world maybe it’s time to question if people are fed up with the way the global economy works?
