Соединенные Штаты с 31 декабря 2018 года выходят из ЮНЕСКО — специализированного учреждения ООН по вопросам образования, науки и культуры, сообщает «Voice of America«, со ссылкой на Госдепартамент.

“This decision was not easy to take. It reflects US concerns about the growing debts of UNESCO, the need for fundamental reforms in the organization and the continuing anti-Israel bias at UNESCO, ”the statement said.

At the same time, the State Department added that the United States will continue to interact with the organization as an observer state in order to share its views and experience.

The head of UNESCO regretted the decision of the United States to leave the organization.

“Having received official notification from US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, I, as Director General of UNESCO, would like to express my deep regret over the decision of the United States of America to leave UNESCO,” said the organization’s general director Irina Bokova.

She added that the US decision represents a loss for the principle of multilateral relations and for the UN.

In 2011, USA stopped to make a substantial financial contribution to the UNESCO budget in protest against the decision to grant full membership in this organization to the Palestinians.
