Standard-Setting at UNESCO - Normative Action in Education, Science and Culture - Volume 1

Standard-setting represents one of the main constitutional functions of UNESCO and an important tool for realizing the goals for which the Organization was created. In addition to conventions and recommendations, the declarations adopted by the General Conference promulgate principles and norms intended to inspire the action of Member States in specific fields of activity. This first of a two-volume work on "Standard-setting in UNESCO" contains the essays presented at a symposium held on the occasion of its sixtieth anniversary. Topics addressed in "Normative Action in Education, Science and Culture" include methods of elaboration and implementation; constitutional objectives and legal commitments; international collaboration; and impact.
