Statute overview

About this statute

The Organization must promote peace, education, science, culture, and human rights, and it must not intervene in matters essentially within Member States’ domestic jurisdiction. UN member states have the right to belong to UNESCO, and non-member states may be admitted if the agreement conditions are met. The provision sets rules for admitting associate members, suspending or withdrawing members, and establishing relations with the United Nations. The Organization includes a General Conference, an Executive Board, and a Secretariat. The General Conference sets policy, votes, and procedures for the Organization, while Member States must appoint delegates and submit adopted recommendations or conventions to their authorities within one year.
