US withdraws from UNESCO amid accusations of 'anti-Israel bias'
Article text by FRANCE 24
The United States announced Thursday that it will withdraw from the United Nations Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), accusing the body of "anti-Israel bias."
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Washington would establish an "observer mission" to replace its representation at the Paris-based agency.
Later Thursday, Israel announced it was “laying the groundwork” to also leave UNESCO.
The United States was angered in 2011 when UNESCO members granted Palestine full membership of the body, despite opposition from its ally Israel. The move resulted in both the US and Israel to halt their contributions to the agency.
Washington opposes any move by UN bodies to recognise the Palestinians as a state, believing that this must await a negotiated Middle East peace deal.
But US President Donald Trump's administration is also reviewing many of its multilateral commitments, pursuing what he calls an "America First" foreign policy.
Nauert said the State Department had notified UNESCO's outgoing Director-General Irina Bokova of their decision earlier Thursday.
"This decision was not taken lightly, and reflects US concerns with mounting arrears at UNESCO, the need for fundamental reform in the organization, and continuing anti-Israel bias at UNESCO," she said in a statement.
"The United States indicated to the director-general its desire to remain engaged with UNESCO as a non-member observer state in order to contribute US views, perspectives and expertise on some of the important issues undertaken by the organization, including the protection of world heritage, advocating for press freedoms and promoting scientific collaboration and education."
The news of Washington’s decision comes as members of the UNESCO executive board are in the midst of nominating a successor for Bokova.
Can’t imagine how US will detach In an interview with FRANCE 24, the UNESCO head said she felt “deep regret” over the US announcement.
“The United States is not just the founder of UNESCO, but it was an American who penned our constitution in 1945,” she said, adding: “We need the United States, we need universality of this organisation if we want this large platform of negotiation, of dialogue, of reaching mutually agreed ideas and policies.”
Asked whether she thought the US would reverse its decision any time soon, Irina Bokova said that: “We never stopped working with the United States after the suspension of their financial contribution. We have developed very solid partnerships,” she said. “I cannot imagine how the United States will detach from us."
