On Tuesday, US, officially, becomes once again a full member of the United Nations Education, Culture and Science (UNESCO). It now becomes the member state number 194 that joined the UN body.
UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay said: "The return of the United States to UNESCO is complete: it has officially become a Member State of our Organization once again. This is excellent news for UNESCO. The momentum we have regained in recent years will now continue to grow. Our initiatives will be stronger throughout the world."
On Sunday, US Secretary of State called the Director-General of UNESCO to inform her that he had just signed the United States’ Document of Acceptance to the UNESCO Constitution.
"This is a historic moment. Our Organization is once again moving towards universality. I also want to share this victory for UNESCO with the entire United Nations family, because it is excellent news for multilateralism as a whole. If we want to meet the challenges of our century, there can only be a collective response," Azoulay highlighted.
