1975 – UNESCO And Israel
Submitted and approved by the AEU Public Affairs Committee to the AEU 67th Assembly
Whereas UNESCO adopted a resolution at its 18th General Conference in November 1974 excluding Israel from any regional grouping and from eligibility for appropriations, and,
Whereas the use of UNESCO by any country or block of countries to further their own political purposes is repugnant to the stated ideals of that organization,
Therefore the American Ethical Union strongly urges the Member States to reconsider the implications of their actions at said Conference, so that UNESCO’s worthy program and philosophy can be reaffirmed and put back and thus strengthen UNESCO and the United Nations.
