Seniors in conversation at Jongmyo Park, in downtown Seoul, Republic of Korea. At the end of October 2011, the world population will pass the 7 billion mark. This year’s annual report by UNFPA, the UN population fund, highlights the remarkable trends behind the numbers: roughly one in two people now lives in an urban area, the global average life span is 68 years, and close to a billion people are 60 and over. The report sees the possibilities in 7 billion – for fostering sustainable cities, productive labour forces, and generations young and old that contribute to the well-being of economies and societies.

Assisting them in that process was the United Nations Observer Group for the Verification of Elections in Haiti (ONUVEH), drawing on experience with the Namibian elections earlier in the year, and with the added innovation of UN Security observers. Approximately 70 percent of those registered voted, choosing as their leader the Reverend Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Haitians celebrate the election of Father Aristide.
