The United Nations on Monday starts the most complex week in recent years with the presence of almost one hundred heads of State and Government and the celebration of several top-level meetings.
Monday's agenda includes a presidential assembly of the Insular Small States Alliance (AOSIS). The aim is to discuss a joint position of the 42 member nations to seek a new world protocol on climate change.
This concerns small low-lying islands that are the most vulnerable victims of land warning and the possible rise in sea level due to a melting polar icecap.
The AOSIS event takes place prior a summit on climate change convened by the UN for Tuesday. This meeting will achieve in December in Copenhagen to replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol agreement about that matter.
Tuesday's event will issue no document and hold several round tables on goals to reduce emissions of greenhouse effect gases for developed and developing countries.
Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, United States' Barack Obama, and Libya's Muammar el Gadafi will address a day after the UN General Assembly, to be run until September 28.
Uruguay's President Tabare Vazquez, Chile's Michelle Bachelet, Argentina 's Cristina Fernandez, Colombia's Alvaro Uribe, Honduras' Manuel Zelaya, El Salvador's Mauricio Funes, Dominican Republic's Leonel Fernandez, and Nicaragua's Daniel Ortega, among others, will also take the floor in this first day.
Meetings are expected to continue Thursday with a conclave among heads of State of the Security Council member countries, dedicated to the non proliferation of nuclear weapons and disarmament in that sphere.
According to US spokesmen, the aim is to create bases to renew negotiations about the regional crisis, marked by the Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip in December, and the construction of settlements of that nation in Palestinian territory.
The 64th General Assembly started September 15, presided over by Libyan diplomat Ali Treki, and under the slogan "Effective responses to face world crises: strengthen multilateral relations and dialogue among civilizations to promote peace, and international security and development."
