UNESCO Reform Fails to Reassure U S and Britain
The Copley News Service notes that nearly a year after Federico Mayor Zaragoza promised reforms UNESCO remains politicized and managed by ineffective leaders. It cautions that past mismanagement under Amadou Mahtar M Bow alienated the United States and Britain, who withdrew funding. A public relations push and literacy partnerships exist, but only concrete actions such as scrapping media censorship schemes will restore credibility and potential funding.
