Julian HUXLEY, 1946 - 1948 .
(Great Britain, 1887 - 1975)
Director-General of UNESCO from December 6, 1946 to December 9, 1948
Zoologist, philosopher, writer, modern well-rounded scientist, recognized in many fields of education, science and
culture.
In 1945-1946 he worked as Secretary General of the Preparatory Commission for UNESCO creation. After his proposal
to accept the philosophy of humanism as a base line concept of UNESCO was declined at the First UNESCO General
Conference in 1946, he asked to limit the term of his activity by two years. As he writes himself, some delegates
conceived his philosophy as antireligious; others conceived his liberalism as pro-communist one.
J.Huxley many times rejected reproaches of the Organization member states that his program directions (e.g. for the
protection of nature) would not become a proper contribution to strengthening of peace. He believed that non-political
approach to technical controversial questions in the field of education, science and culture may become a bridge
between the Western democracy and countries of Soviet influence.
Julian Huxley gave special preference to joint work of nongovernmental organizations with UNESCO National
Commissions. From 1950 to 1969 he continued to work in UNESCO as a Vice President of the International Commission
for a commencing issue of the scientific and cultural history of mankind.

Glavno sjedite organizacije je u Parizu sa preko 50 ureda irom svijeta. UNESCO upranjava svoje aktivnosti
u pet glavnih programa: obrazovanje, prirodne nauke, sociologija, kultura i komunikacije. UNESCO takoer
sponzorie projekte za pismenost, razvoj tehnike i pedagogije, internacionalne nauke, projekte regionalne

Introducing UNESCO: what we are

UNESCO works to create the conditions for dialogue among civilizations, cultures and peoples, based upon respect for
commonly shared values. It is through this dialogue that the world can achieve global visions of sustainable development
encompassing observance of human rights, mutual respect and the alleviation of poverty, all of which are at the heart of
UNESCOS mission and activities.
The broad goals and concrete objectives of the international community as set out in the internationally agreed
development goals, including the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) underpin all UNESCOs strategies and
activities. Thus UNESCOs unique competencies in education, the sciences, culture and communication and information
contribute towards the realization of those goals.
UNESCOs mission is to contribute to the building of peace, the eradication of poverty, sustainable development and
intercultural dialogue through education, the sciences, culture, communication and information. The Organization
focuses, in particular, on two global priorities:

Africa
Gender equality
And on a number of overarching objectives:

Attaining quality education for all and lifelong learning

Mobilizing science knowledge and policy for sustainable development
Addressing emerging social and ethical challenges
Fostering cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and a culture of peace
Building inclusive knowledge societies through information and communication

UNESCO's governing bodies

The General Conference
The General Conference consists of the representatives of the States Members of the Organization. It meets every two
years, and is attended by Member States and Associate Members, together with observers for non-Member States,
intergovernmental organizations and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Each country has one vote, irrespective
of its size or the extent of its contribution to the budget.
The General Conference determines the policies and the main lines of work of the Organization. Its duty is to set the
programmes and the budget of UNESCO. It also elects the Members of the Executive Board and appoints, every four
years, the Director-General. The working languages of the General Conference are Arabic, Chinese, English, French,
Russian and Spanish.

The Executive Board

The Executive Board, in a sense, assures the overall management of UNESCO. It prepares the work of the General
Conference and sees that its decisions are properly carried out. The functions and responsibilities of the Executive Board
are derived primarily from the Constitution and from rules or directives laid down by the General Conference.
Every two years the General Conference assigns specific tasks to the Board. Other functions stem from agreements

concluded between UNESCO and the United Nations, the specialized agencies and other intergovernmental
organizations.
Its fifty-eight members are elected by the General Conference. The choice of these representatives is largely a matter of
the diversity of the cultures and their geographical origin. Skilful negotiations may be needed before a balance is reached
among the different regions of the world in a way that will reflect the universality of the Organization. The Executive
Board meets twice a year.

---------------------------------------------http://portal.unesco.org/en/ev.phpURL_ID=11170&URL_DO=DO_TOPIC&URL_SECTION=201.html
The Organization has now 195 Members and 8 Associate Members.
The Sector for External Relations and Public Information (ERI) and the Africa Department (AFR)
ensure liaison with Member States. While AFR covers the Member States from the Africa region, ERI
is responsible for relations with the Member States from the four other regions and with Associate
Members.
Relations with Member States are also ensured by the Directors and Heads of the UNESCO Regional,
Cluster and National Offices.
Most Member States have established Permanent Delegations to UNESCO which, headed by
Ambassadors, undertake liaison between the Organization and their governments.
All Member States have established a National Commission for UNESCO. The UNESCO National
Commissions are national cooperating bodies set up by the Member States for the purpose of
associating their governmental and non-governmental bodies with the work of the Organization.
Member States and Associate Members designate one or severalMinistries responsible for relations
with UNESCO and/or Ministries in UNESCO's fields of competence.
UNESCO emphasizes its efforts to involve nationally (Parliamentarians) and locally elected
representatives (Cities and Local Authorities) in its action.

The Organization's history

As early as 1942, in wartime, the governments of the European countries, which were confronting Nazi Germany and its
allies, met in the United Kingdom for the Conference of Allied Ministers of Education (CAME). The Second World War
was far from over, yet those countries were looking for ways and means to reconstruct their systems of education once
peace was restored. Very quickly, the project gained momentum and soon took on a universal note. New governments,
including that of the United States, decided to join in.
Upon the proposal of CAME, a United Nations Conference for the establishment of an educational and cultural
organization (ECO/CONF) was convened in London from 1 to 16 November 1945. Scarcely had the war ended when the
conference opened. It gathered together the representatives of forty-four countries who decided to create an
organization that would embody a genuine culture of peace. In their eyes, the new organization must establish the
intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind and, in so doing, prevent the outbreak of another world war.
At the end of the conference, thirty-seven countries founded the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization. The Constitution of UNESCO, signed on 16 November 1945, came into force on 4 November 1946 after
ratification by twenty countries: Australia, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Egypt,
France, Greece, India, Lebanon, Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey, United Kingdom and
United States. The first session of theGeneral Conference of UNESCO was held in Paris from 19 November to 10
December 1946 with the participation of representatives from 30 governments entitled to vote.
The political divisions of the Second World War marked the composition of the founding Member States of UNESCO. It
was not until 1951 that Japan and the Federal Republic of Germany became Members, and Spain was accepted in
1953. Other major historical factors, such as the Cold War, the decolonization process and the dissolution of the USSR,
also left their trace on UNESCO. The USSR joined UNESCO in 1954 and was replaced by the Russian Federation in
1992 alongside 12 former Soviet republics. Nineteen African states became Members in the 1960s.
As a consequence of its entry into the United Nations, the People's Republic of China has been the only legitimate
representative of China at UNESCO since 1971. The German Democratic Republic was a Member from 1972 to 1990,
when it joined the Federal Republic of Germany.
Some countries withdrew from the Organization for political reasons at various points in time, but they have today all
rejoined UNESCO. South Africa was absent from 1957 to 1994, the United States of America between 1985 to 2003, the
United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from 1986 to 1997 and Singapore from 1986 to 2007.

Origins of UNESCO
The main predecessors of UNESCO were:
The International Committee of Intellectual Co-operation (CICI), Geneva 1922-1946, and its executing agency, the
International Institute of Intellectual Co-operation (IICI), Paris, 1925-1946;

The International Bureau of Education (IBE), Geneva, 1925-1968; since 1969 IBE has been part of the UNESCO
Secretariat under its own statutes.

how they work:

Programme and Budget (C/5)

The Programme and Budget of the Organisation(document C/5) is approved every two years by the UNESCO
General Conference.
The document C/5 defines for each Major Programme and other Programme Sectors and Central Services, the

objectives, strategies, expected results and financial allocations, broken down by Main Line of Action (MLA). The
expected results are defined for each MLA, complemented, as necessary, by performance indicators and benchmarks.
The C/5 document also contains provisions for a certain number of intersectoral platforms.
UNESCO's Programme and Budget for 2012-2013(36C/5) translates the programmatic objectives, policy directions
and focus provided by the Medium-Term Strategy for 2008-2013 (document 34 C/4) into concrete thematic and policystyle approaches for the five Programme Sectors of UNESCO (Education, Natural Sciences, Social and Human
Sciences, Culture, Communication and Information).

Accountability
UNESCO is an organization of values and ideals. We work through various legal and advisory procedures and offices
to improve and add value and accountability to our operations:
The Internal Oversight Service (IOS) provides independent and objective audits and evaluations of UNESCO's
programmes and services, as well as investigations of alleged irregularities and staff misconduct. In conjunction with the
Ethics Office, Bureau of Human Resources Management, and the Office of the Mediator, it shares responsibility for
addressing grievances.
The Ethics Office is responsible for providing confidential advice and guidance on ethics to the Organization and its
personnel. It is responsible for: conflict of interest issues, UNESCO's Financial Disclosure Programme, moral and
sexual harassment issues, abuse of power or authority, and discrimination cases.
The Office of International Standards and Legal Affairs (LA) is UNESCOs central legal service. It provides legal
advice and answers legal questions for the Organization and its various bodies, represents the organization before
tribunals and courts, and assists in the drawing up and application of international standard-setting instruments. In
addition it handles requests via UNESCO's "Procedure for dealing with alleged violations of human rights" (Procedure
104)

The Hotel Majestic on the Avenue Klber in Paris was UNESCOs temporary home until 1958, when it moved to its
present headquarters on the Place de Fontenoy.
On 16 September 1946, the Preparatory Commission for UNESCO moved from London to the Hotel Majestic on the
Avenue Klber in Paris, which had been given a quick refit following its liberation from the German occupation. Working
conditions were not exactly ideal. The largest bedrooms were allocated to secretaries, several of whom had to share
them and store their files in the wardrobes, while middle-grade professionals were put in disused bathrooms, where the
only place to keep their papers was the bathtub.
Located on the Place de Fontenoy, in Paris, the main building which houses the Headquarters of UNESCO was
inaugurated on 3 November 1958. The Y-shaped design was invented bythree architects of different nationalities under
the direction of an international committee.
Nicknamed the three-pointed star, the entire edifice stands on seventy-two columns of concrete piling. It is world
famous, not only because it is the home of a well-known organization but also because of its outstanding architectural
qualities. There, you can find the UNESCO Publishing bookshop, which features all sales publications in stock, plus a
large philatelic and numismatic collection, and a growing UNESCO-related gifts section.
Three more buildings complete the headquarters site. The second building, known affectionately as the "accordion",
holds the egg-shaped hall with a pleated copper ceiling where the plenary sessions of the General Conference are held.
The third building is in the form of a cube. Lastly, a fourth construction consists of two office floors hollowed out below
street level, around six small sunken courtyards. The buildings, which contain many remarkable works of art, are open to
the public.

As soon as the architectural plans for the site at the Place de Fontenoy had been approved, UNESCO commissioned a
number of great artists to create works to adorn the future premises. In some cases, the works are also intended to
evoke the peace that the institution has sought to establish and preserve throughout the world. Over the years, other
works were acquired. Some were donated to the Organization by various Member States. Picasso, Bazaine, Miro,
Tapis, Le Corbusier and many other artists, both famous and unknown, all have their place in this universal
museum that echoes the diversity of artistic creation throughout the world.
