Global
The main objective of UNESCO is to contribute to peace and
security in the world. Therefore, UNESCO promotes the collaboration among
nations through education, science, culture and communication in order to
further universal respect for justice, the rule of law, human rights and fundamental
freedoms which are affirmed to the peoples of the world, without distinction
of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations.
UNESCO is committed to supporting Member States, particularly the developing
countries, to strengthen their communication capacities, to improve the training
of communication professionals and to promote the concept of public service
broadcasting. Activities in the areas of communication and information include
the training of journalists, promoting free press, providing access for all,
promoting ICTs for Education, strengthening libraries and archives, and preserving
documentary heritage.
