Message from Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the Occasion of International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People 教科文组织总干事伊琳娜·博科娃在声援巴勒斯坦人民国际日的致辞 29 November 2016 2016年11月29日 International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People gives us the opportunity to restate our unswerving commitment to building peace on the basis of human dignity and mutual respect between peoples and cultures. 值此声援巴勒斯坦人民国际日，我们重申以人类的尊严和各民族各文化的互相尊重为基础，坚定不移致力于建设和平的决心。 Palestine has been a member of UNESCO since 2011, and our Organization has been working for several decades to strengthen Palestine’s institutional capacities so as to speed up the State-building process. UNESCO runs the Department of Education in the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), and since 2010 has conducted curricula reform to ensure access to quality, inclusive and equitable education for all Palestinian refugees, which transmits the values of respect, trust and development. Along with all United Nations partners, UNESCO is also working to improve the safety and security of schools and higher education establishments, and support the preservation of cultural sites, some of the most symbolic of which have been included in the World Heritage List – the Birthplace of Jesus: Church of the Nativity and the Pilgrimage Route, Bethlehem, and the Cultural Landscape of Southern Jerusalem, Battir. |
