PARIS – Naming World Heritage sites — places like the Egyptian pyramids or the
Statue of Liberty that are given a special U.N. status and protection — is one
of the many programs run by UNESCO.




The U.N. Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization has long faced
accusations of corruption, mismanagement and political bias in its resolutions
and the United States is about to abandon the agency because of what Washington
sees as a longstanding anti-Israel bias.

Beyond the diplomatic disputes, here's a look at some things that UNESCO does:



WORLD HERITAGE SITES



The agency's World Heritage Committee each year designates sites considered "of
outstanding value to humanity" and intervenes when sites are in danger of
destruction or damage. The program provides countries with technical assistance
and professional training to preserve the sites, and now includes "intangible"
heritage such as folk songs or traditional dances in its lists. A World Heritage
site designation is coveted and seen as a boost to local tourism.



___

EMPOWERING GIRLS



UNESCO works to improve literacy throughout the world, with a special focus on
girls in poor countries who get little or no schooling. The agency provides
teacher training and materials and encourages programs for girls to pursue
careers in science.

___



HOLOCAUST EDUCATION




Like the rest of the U.N., UNESCO was created in response to the horrors of
World War II, and particularly Nazi crimes. Amid concerns that the agency's Arab
members have used UNESCO to pass anti-Israel resolutions, UNESCO has worked in
recent years on Holocaust awareness projects. That includes educational
materials in multiple languages and organizing visits to former Nazi
concentration camps.

___

CLIMATE CHANGE




The agency seeks to coordinate climate knowledge, including studies of impacts
on UNESCO's network of biosphere reserves, and to improve international
education about how global warming occurs and affects people around the world.
