Statement of the Director-General of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI welcome the spirit of dialogue and responsibility that has allowed a consensual decision to be reached in the framework of the Executive Board during its discussions concerning the Middle East.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis spirit of consensus opens up a new positive dynamic within Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO. I thank all the delegations that have worked towards this, notably the representatives of the Palestinian, Israeli, Jordanian, American, and European Union delegations. The Secretariat of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO will continue to be involved as a dialogue facilitator for Member States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis outcome bears witness to the Parties\u2019 strong commitment to work together, including on the most sensitive issues. The will to achieve consensus is part of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO\u2019s DNA and must guide our work in the future, particularly during the upcoming discussions at the World Heritage Committee and within the governing bodies of the Organization.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe restoration of a constructive atmosphere is a necessary first step for Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO to be able to work steadily in its fields of competence: education, the sciences and culture. Our Organization was established specifically to create spaces for dialogue and cooperation in areas of shared interest: the heritage of humanity, scientific cooperation, and the sharing of ideas and knowledge. The Secretariat will spare no effort in supporting States along this path.”<\/p>\n

*The decision adopted<\/a>\u00a0in Commission will be submitted for final approval by the Executive Board in the Plenary session on 17 April.<\/p>\n
