UN rights chief seeks world support for uprisings

The UN's top human rights official is calling on all nations to back the popular revolts shaking the Arab world. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay says "the international community bears the great responsibility of extending its support in words and deeds." 

She told the UN's Human Rights Council on Monday the world must help the protesters quickly cement new changes "before former entrenched interests begin to reassert themselves, or new threats emerge." (AP)
