The Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO Executive Board took decisions on issues relating to the Middle East, including to the World Heritage Site of the <\/span>Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls<\/u><\/a>‎.   ‎<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

"Jerusalem is a Holy Land of the three monotheistic religions, a place of dialogue for all Jewish, Christian and Muslim people, nothing should be undertaken to alter iits integrity and authenticity" said Irina Bokova. "It is a mosaic of cultures and peoples, whose history has shaped the history of all humanity. Only respect and dialogue can build the trust we need to move forward — this is the strength of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO, for the benefit of all."<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

"I believe Member States have a responsibility to Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵESCO’s mandate, to move forward in ways that promote dialogue, tolerance and peace,” continued Irina Bokova. “This is especially important for young people, who should be nurtured and educated for peace.”  <\/p><\/div>\n
