UNESCO - United States National Commission Annual Conference
The United States National Commission for UNESCO held its two-day annual conference for commissioners from 1-2 June 2006 in Washington, D.C. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The purpose of the meeting was for the commissioners to develop recommendations on issues related to education, science, communications, and culture for consideration as U.S. policy towards UNESCO by the U.S. Department of State. The U.S. Representative to UNESCO and officials from the U.S. Department of State outlined current priorities and policies, as well as the risks associated with the adoption of relatively new treaties, such as the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.
