The President is hereby authorized to accept

membership for the United States in the United

Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural

Organization (hereinafter referred to as the ‘‘Organization’’), the constitution of which was approved in London on November 16, 1945, by the

(July 30, 1946, ch. 700, §1, 60 Stat. 712.)

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL,

SCIENTIFIC, AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION

THE GOVERNMENTS OF THE STATES PARTIES TO THIS

CONSTITUTION ON BEHALF OF THEIR PEOPLES DECLARE

that since wars begin in the minds of men, it is in the

minds of men that the defences of peace must be constructed;

that ignorance of each other’s ways and lives has been

a common cause, throughout the history of mankind,

of that suspicion and mistrust between the peoples of

the world through which their differences have all too

often broken into war;

that the great and terrible war which has now ended

was a war made possible by the denial of the democratic principles of the dignity, equality and mutual respect of men, and by the propagation, in their place,

through ignorance and prejudice, of the doctrine of the

inequality of men and races;

that the wide diffusion of culture, and the education of

humanity for justice and liberty and peace are indispensable to the dignity of man and constitute a sacred

duty which all the nations must fulfill in a spirit of

mutual assistance and concern;

that a peace based exclusively upon the political and

economic arrangements of governments would not be a

peace which could secure the unanimous, lasting and

sincere support of the peoples of the world, and that

the peace must therefore be founded, if it is not to fail,

upon the intellectual and moral solidarity of mankind.

FOR THESE REASONS,

the States parties to this Constitution, believing in full

and equal opportunities for education for all, in the unrestricted pursuit of objective truth, and in the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, are agreed and deter-
