Synopsis

Learning And Peace, The United Nations Educational, Scientific And Cultural Organization Starts Its Work is a book written by James Francis Byrnes. It provides a comprehensive overview of the establishment and early years of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The book covers the organization's mandate, structure, and key initiatives in the fields of education, science, culture, and communication. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities that UNESCO faced in its early years, including the Cold War and the decolonization process. Byrnes, who was the United States Secretary of State at the time of UNESCO's creation, provides an insider's perspective on the organization's formation and the role that the United States played in its early development. The book is an important historical document that sheds light on the international efforts to promote education, culture, and peace in the aftermath of World War II. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of international organizations and the pursuit of global cooperation and understanding.International Conciliation, No. 424, October, 1946.
