The following are corrections of errors in the original print edition of the 2010 Human Development Report. Errors detected within six months of the publication of the Report are corrected in the on-line editions of the Report in all UN languages.
Page 11, 5th line: “Augusto Pinochet had left the presidency of Chile” should read “Augusto Pinochet had left power in Chile”
Page 15, Box 1.2, second column, top paragraph, should read: “Some of the income residents earn is sent abroad, some residents receive transfers from abroad and some countries receive sizeable revenue flows from outside their territory. For example, because of large transfers from its residents working abroad, GNI in the Philippines greatly exceeds GDP, and because of revenues from offshore oil exploitation, Timor-Leste’s GNI is many times domestic output. ”

Page 69, first column, second full paragraph, third sentence: “Many national elections have been marred by widespread voter intimidation and fraud, such as those held recently in Afghanistan, Kenya and Nicaragua” should read: “Many national elections have been marred by widespread voter intimidation and fraud, such as those held recently in Afghanistan and Kenya.”
