THANK YOU ALL for submitting videos and/or comments to this video contest.

The deadline has expired on 10th October 2009.

The winners will be announced on the United Nations Channel within the next few days.

It will certainly be a very difficult decision for the committee to select (from the combined list of entries in the 4 promotional videos) the best 5 video entries.

Good luck to all.

I completely agree.

Excellent UN video on one side, 3000+ views.

Fred' last video on the other side, 1.000.000+ views.

Probably says more about the users of youtube than anything else though.

tenes que mandar un video en "publicar una respuesta en video", no mayor a una duracion de 3 minutos; con tu idea de como hacer de este mundo un lugar mejor y más seguro.

i dont trust the UN. They are the ones that want a one world government and one world currency. And now that the worlds population has hit 7billion, they want world leaders to start trying to controll the populations. The UN IS NOT GOD! Who gives the UN the right to decide if people can have kids or not? They can end famine in africa if they want, but what they want, is people to die, keep the numbers down. Its ALL one BIG scam for the NWO!

Tell them to shut down the UN and then tell them that all countries just go home and mind their own business and leave everyone else alone.

Mr Ban I think you are very pro-US. If you want ICC to investigate Gaddafi for crime against humanity you should similarly include Tony Blair and George Bush who are instrumental in the illegal war against Iraq as you know killing many innocent civilians just to provide 'Shock and Awe'. Remember we are not stupid.
