Abstract

The important socio-economic needs of global society pave   the fundamental roles and functions of UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in fostering global peace and development. The organization's mission revolves around promoting access to quality education, encouraging international collaboration in science, and safeguarding cultural diversity. UNESCO serves as a platform for nations to address shared challenges, advocates for the free flow of information, and plays a vital role in emergency response. UNESCO’s commitment to education, science, and culture underscores its pivotal role in shaping a world that values knowledge, understanding, and collaboration for the betterment of humanity.
