UNESCO gives Palestinians full membership
Oct. 31 - The United Nations' cultural agency decides to give Palestinians full membership of the body, a vote that will boost their bid for recognition as a state at the United Nations.

Punished for Palestine: 'UNESCO will survive US cuts'
Palestine has, for the first time ever, received recognition by a UN body - its cultural arm has accepted it as a fully-fledged member. But this decision comes at a price for UNESCO - with the US cutting its funding to the organisation, which represents almost a quarter of its budget. Ramzy Baroud, editor at the palestinechronicle.com , thinks Washington's move is unfair, but says UNESCO will survive. RT on Twitter http RT on Facebook www.facebook.com

US cuts off UNESCO funding over Palestine vote
The United States government has cut off funds to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural organisation (UNESCO), following the agency's admission of Palestine as a full member. Washington's decision to withold $60m in funding, which is about one-quarter of UNESCO's annual budget, came after 107 out of 173 countries voted in favor of the Palestinian bid for statehood. Although UNESCO's membership marks a small victory for Palestinian officials, it could help them protect more than 20 monumental Palestinian cultural and religious sites. The US also condemned UNESCO's move, saying that it "undermines" the peace process between Israelis and Palestinians. Rosiland Jordan reports.

Rome - Italy - UNESCO World Heritage Site
Rome is the capital of Italy and the country's largest and most populated city and comune, with over 2.7 million residents in 1285.3 km2 (496.3 sq mi). The city is located in the central-western portion of the Italian Peninsula, on the Tiber River within the Lazio region of Italy. Rome's history spans two and a half thousand years. It was the capital city of the Roman Kingdom, the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire, which was the dominant power in Western Europe and the lands bordering the Mediterranean for over seven hundred years from the 1st century BC until the 7th century AD. Since the 1st century AD Rome has been the seat of the Papacy and, after the end of Byzantine domination, in the 8th century it became the capital of the Papal States, which lasted until 1870. In 1871 Rome became the capital of the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1946 that of the Italian Republic. After the Middle Ages, Rome was ruled by popes such as Alexander VI and Leo X, who transformed the city into one of the major centers of the Italian Renaissance, along with Florence.[2] The current version of St Peter's Basilica was built and the Sistine Chapel was painted by Michelangelo. Famous artists and architects, such as Bramante, Bernini and Raphael resided for some time in Rome, contributing to its Renaissance and Baroque architecture. In 2007 Rome was the 11th-most-visited city in the world, 3rd most visited in the European Union, and the most popular tourist attraction in Italy. The city is one of <b>...</b>

Palestine admitted to UNESCO as full member
PARIS — Palestine became a full member of UNESCO on Monday, in a highly divisive breakthrough that could cost the agency a fifth of its budget and that the US and other opponents say could harm renewed Mideast peace efforts. Lawmakers in the United States, which provides about 22 percent of UNESCO's funding, had threatened to halt some $80 million in annual funding if Palestinian membership was approved. It wasn't clear in the immediate aftermath of Monday's vote whether the threat would become reality. White House spokesman Jay Carney called UNESCO's decision "premature" and said it undermines the international community's goal of a comprehensive Middle East peace plan. He called it a distraction from the goal of restarting direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. Monday's vote is a grand symbolic victory for the Palestinians, but it alone won't make Palestine into a state. The issue of borders of an eventual Palestinian state, security troubles and other disputes that have thwarted Middle East peace for decades remain unresolved. Huge cheers went up in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization after delegates approved the membership in a vote of 107-14 with 52 abstentions. Eighty-one votes were needed for approval in a hall with 173 UNESCO member delegations present.

Palestine is admitted to UNESCO
Palestine is now a full UNESCO member. The UN cultural-heritage organization's recognition will boost Palestine's bid for admission as a state at the United Nations. "I think the success of the Palestinians to achieve membership in the UNESCO is important in terms of the Palestinian attempts to get recognition of Palestine as a state; it's part of the buildup in the Palestinian efforts towards achieving international recognition," said the head of the Palestinian Press Office, Ghassan Khatib. UNESCO is the first UN agency to provide full membership to Palestine Mahmoud Abbas's application to the New York-based body in September. The Palestinian minister for tourism and antiquities said UNESCO recognition would help to protect and preserve the Palestinian cultural heritage. "The full membership will open doors for us, especially to face the deliberate destruction of the cultural heritage by the occupation, and start to preserve the Palestinian sites which are eligible to be on the world heritage list," said the Palestinian Minister of Tourism and Antiques, Kholod Duiabes. The United States, Canada, Germany and Holland voted against Palestinian membership. However, Brazil, Russia, China, India, South Africa and France voted in favor. Meanwhile, Britain and Italy abstained. In response to the vote, the US said it would withhold payments to UNESCO. "I will call UNESCO to think twice about their decisions, because if they want to get funding from the US and from other <b>...</b>

Palestinian flag raised over UNESCO headquarters
www.euronews.net In an historic, symbolic and controversial act the Palestinian flag has been raised over a UN building for the first time. UNESCO, the world body's Paris-based culture, education and science agency, angered Israel and the US when it effectively recognised 'Palestine' as a state, by allowing it to become a member. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas spoke at the flag-raising ceremony. He told the audience it was an historic moment which, he said, augured well for the future entry of the Palestinian state to other international organisations.
UNESCO - It's Evil Purpose and Philosophy
"...The task before UNESCO... is to help the emergence of a single world culture with its own philosophy and background of ideas and with its own broad purpose. This is opportune, since this the first time in history that the scaffolding and the mechanisms for world unification have become available and also the first time that man has had the means... of laying a world-wide foundation for the minimum physical welfare of the entire human species. And it is necessary, for at the moment, two opposing philosophies of life confront each other from the West and from the East...." "You may categorize the two philosophies as two super-nationalisms, or as individualism versus collectivism; or as the American versus the Russian way of life, or as capitalism versus communism, or as Christianity versus Marxism. Can these opposites be reconciled, this antithesis be resolved in a higher synthesis? I believe not only that this can happen, but that, through the inexorable dialectic of evolution, it must happen.... "In pursuing this aim, we must eschew dogma - whether it be theological dogma or Marxist dogma.... East and West will not agree on a basis of the future if they merely hurl at each other the fixed ideas of the past. For that is what dogma's are -- the crystallizations of some dominant system of thought of a particular epoch. A dogma may of course crystallize tried and valid experience; but if it be dogma, it does so in a way which is rigid, uncompromising and intolerant.... If <b>...</b>

euronews interview - UNESCO: 'There are those that praise us, those that accuse us'
www.euronews.net UNESCO has welcomed the Palestinians as the 195th member; an historic, yet controversial move that has rocked the organisation. The Palestinians won their place despite stiff resistance from the US and Israel. But it came at a high price. Bound by two laws that forbid subsidising any organisation that recognises Palestine as a state, Washington cut off funds, sending the UN's education, scientific and cultural agency into financial freefall. Euronews' Andrea Bolitho spoke to Director-General Irina Bokova about the future of UNESCO.
