Cameron's plea to 'keep faith' in the Arab Spring
The main theme of David Cameron's speech was to continue the progress of the Arab Spring, which he described as a "precious opportunity for people to realise their aspirations".
"Today is not the time to turn back - but to keep the faith and redouble our support for open societies, and for people's demands for a job and a voice," he said.
He also urged the General Assembly to "judge governments not by their religion - but by how they act and what they do". He was, in particular, speaking of recently-elected Islamist governments.
