Organizationin 1945,
UNESCO promotes international cooperation among its Member States in the fields of education, science, culture and
communication. Today, UNESCO works as a laboratory of ideas and standard
setter to forge universal agreements on emerging ethical issues. The Organization also serves as a clearinghouse that disseminates
and shares information and knowledge, while helping
Member States to build their
human and institutional capacities in diverse fields. The UNESCO Constitution states: “Since
wars begin in the minds
of men, it is in the minds of men that the defences
of peace must be constructed.”
