World leaders are gathering in New York for a UN General Assembly likely to be dominated by Syria, although it is not formally on the agenda.
Discussions are also expected to centre on Iran's nuclear programme and the video that has prompted anti-US protests across the Muslim world.
President Barack Obama is due to focus on the Middle East when he gives one of the opening speeches on Tuesday.
His address comes six weeks before the US presidential election.
But it is not to be seen as a campaign speech, according to White House spokesman Jay Carney.
"I would expect the president to address the recent unrest in the Muslim world and the broader context of the democratic transitions of the Arab World."
