Unesco: A work in progress
DOI: 10.1063/1.3066563
The United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization is concerned with something very intangible—the minds of men. Unesco’s purpose is to create through education, science, and culture a climate favorable to world peace. It is not a little mental Security Council that comes running with a first aid kit to patch up each threat to the peace. It is the organization that looks into the basic causes for war and suggests remedies for their removal. It is Unesco’s function to encourage and support (the latter of course within the narrow limitations of its budget) activities that contribute effectively toward the creation of good relations between peoples.
