Welcome to the website of the New Zealand National Commission for UNESCO. The Commission is appointed by the New Zealand government to support the work of the longest established of all United Nations agencies. Our goal is to promote peace and social justice in New Zealand and the Pacific through education, the sciences, culture and the free exchange of ideas. I hope that this website will show how we try to achieve this goal and how your support can help us to do so. We would be delighted to hear from you.

The UNESCO Executive Board is made up of elected representatives from 58 Member States and is responsible for ensuring the secretariat implement decisions agreed to by General Conference. |
