Organization born in November 16, 1945. The goal of the Organization is to build peace in the minds of men through education, culture, science and communication. Today, UNESCO functions as a laboratory of ideas and standard-setter to forge universal agreements on ethical issues of our time. The Organization also serves as a clearinghouse of information to disseminate and share data and knowledge, while helping its member states to promote their human and institutional capacities in diverse fields. In short, UNESCO promotes international cooperation among its 190 Member States and Associate Members in the fields of education, science, culture and communication.
