BBC World Service - Witness History, UNESCO and race and tolerance

How UNESCO fought racism and advocated tolerance.

How UN's educational and cultural wing fought racism and advocated tolerance.

UNESCO – the educational, scientific and cultural arm of the United Nations was first established in 1945. Its aim was to use education as a means of sustaining peace after the horrors of the Second World War.  Addressing race and racism was a key part of its mission.  Caroline Bayley has been speaking to Doudou Diene who spent many years at UNESCO working on anti-racism and tolerance.
