Vestnik of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO. June 2022 г.

Ирина Никонорова 20.06.2022

Dear readers, greetings from the Editorial Board of the Vestnik of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO!

In tough times like these, when polarization of opinions within UNESCO and politicization of our Organization due to the efforts of certain states are at unprecedented levels, it is more important than ever to recall the actual role and place of UNESCO in the world, the principles specified in its Constitution, and the tasks that it is meant to solve, namely “to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for justice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations”. Russia has always been committed to this noble goal, consistently pursuing depoliticization of UNESCO and remaining an active and responsible member of the Organization. The Vestnik will continue contributing to this task by informing its readers of the efforts that our country is making within the remit of UNESCO. In this issue, we will talk about Russia’s assistance to the new republics of Donbass in restoring their secondary and higher education systems destroyed during the years of Ukrainian aggression. We will share photos and opinions from the General Assembly of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO held in December last year. And as always, we will continue to introduce you to the masterpieces of tangible and intangible heritage of Russia. Wishing peace and good health to us all!
