movements, groups and institutions which are working, each within its own field, to establish a culture of peace”.
This is what we have to adopt first, for the reasons mentioned above. Can we adopt this short paragraph?
56.2 The resolution in paragraph 05100, subparagraph (a)(i), of document 30 C/5 relating to the International
Year for the Culture of Peace is adopted.
56.3 The second resolution before us is the resolution proposed by the Executive Board in paragraph 27 of
document 30 C/6, “Recommendations by the Executive Board on the Draft Programme and Budget for 2000-
2001”. It concerns the whole of the transdisciplinary project “Towards a culture of peace”. Again, to make things
simpler and easier to understand, you will find the text of the resolution on the sheet that was distributed to you,
and of course you have a copy of document 30 C/6 in your file. Would you kindly look at paragraph 27; I would
rather not read it out because it is fairly lengthy, but will do so if you wish. I hope it will meet with your
approval. The representative of El Salvador has the floor.
57.1 Sra. CUBÍAS MEDINA (El Salvador):
Gracias, señora Presidenta: En este sentido, la Delegación de El Salvador quisiera proponer un añadido
al párrafo 1 del proyecto de resolución que se está presentando. Dicho párrafo dice así, y leo desde el principio:
“Invita al Director General a seguir reforzando, en consonancia con la Estrategia a Plazo Medio 1996-2001, la
coherencia de las estrategias de la UNESCO encaminadas a fomentar una cultura de paz, como expresión de su
cometido fundamental al que todas las actividades de la Organización deben contribuir”; a lo cual proponemos
añadir: “y a aportar la plena contribución de la Organización para llevar a la práctica el Programa de Acción
sobre la Cultura de Paz adoptado por la Asamblea General de las Naciones Unidas (Resolución 53/243)”.
57.2 La modificación propuesta está en consonancia con el apoyo que siempre ha prestado la UNESCO a las
actividades destinadas a poner en marcha los programas. Podemos recordar, en este sentido, el Primer Foro
Internacional sobre la Cultura de Paz, celebrado en 1994 en San Salvador, donde se prestó pleno apoyo a ese tipo
de actividades. Considerando que el propio Proyecto transdisciplinario recomienda la elaboración de programas
nacionales de acción, quisiéramos que se tuviera también en cuenta el compromiso de esos programas nacionales
con los contenidos del Programa de Acción de las Naciones Unidas, de manera que, si se ajusta a dichos
contenidos, un programa nacional pueda gozar nuevamente del apoyo de la UNESCO para llevar a cabo las
actividades previstas. Gracias.
(57.1) Ms CUBÍAS MEDINA (El Salvador) (Translation from the Spanish):
Thank you, Madam President. The delegation of El Salvador wishes to propose an addition to
paragraph 1 of the draft resolution that has been submitted. That paragraph reads as follows, and I shall read from
the beginning: “Invites the Director-General to further develop, in line with the Medium-Term Strategy for 1996-
2001, the coherence of UNESCO’s strategies fostering a culture of peace, as the expression of its fundamental
mandate to which all of UNESCO’s activities must contribute;” to which we propose to add: “and to provide the
Organization’s full contribution to implementation of the Programme of Action on a Culture of Peace adopted by
the General Assembly of the United Nations (Resolution 53/243)”.
(57.2) The proposed amendment is in keeping with the support that UNESCO has always given to activities
aimed at programme implementation. We may recall, in this regard, the first International Forum on the Culture of
Peace, held in San Salvador in 1994, at which full support was given to this type of activity. Considering that the
transdisciplinary project itself recommends the preparation of national programmes of action, we should also like
account to be taken of those national programmes’ conformity with the contents of the United Nations Programme
of Action, so that if a national programme conforms with those contents, it may again receive UNESCO support to
carry out the activities planned. Thank you.
58. The PRESIDENT:
Madam, I shall have to ask you for the proposed amendment in writing because it was hard to
distinguish the amendment itself from the commentary.
59. Г-нСРЕДИН(Российская Федерация):
Благодарю Вас, г-жа Председатель. Российская делегация поддерживает поправку, предложенную
Сальвадором. Благодарю Вас.
(59) Mr SREDIN (Russian Federation) (Translation from the Russian):
Thank you, Madam President. The Russian delegation supports the amendment proposed by El Salvador.
Thank you.
