Quotations

“UNESCO must ambitiously reassert its role as the conscience of the United Nations. . . It is through education, culture, the dissemination of science and sustainable development, and the defence of humanistic values that UNESCO can bring to life the driving forces, the most sure in the long term, of the United Nation’s universal project of peace and democracy.” ( to UN, Sept. 21, 2017; photo Wikipedia)
