Diplomatic Immunity

The Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization held its sixteenth session in Paris on June 9, 1949. Following a Polish protest that the French Government had withheld a visa from a Polish delegate, it was moved by the Brazilian delegate (Carniero) that steps be taken to insure that diplomatic immunity be extended to all members of the UNESCO executive board as well as to members of the governing bodies of other international agencies. After discussing the question, the representatives considered the Director General's (Bodet) report on the activities of UNESCO for the period from February 1 to June 1,1949.

The Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization held its sixteenth session in Paris from June 9 to 15, 1949. At the first meeting Jaime Torres Bodet, Director-General, drew attention to the main points in his report on the activities of the organization since the fourteenth session. One of the questions which he considered essential and to which he drew the Board's attention was coordination between the United Nations and the specialized agencies as regards technical assistance to underdeveloped countries. In conformity with the decisions of the fifteenth (extraordinary) session of the Executive Board, UNESCO was represented by two members on a working party which met at Lake Success in March and drew up a series of projects for consideration by the United Nations Administrative Committee on Coordination. A second question concerned general education; the two missions sent by UNESCO to the Philippines and Siam had concluded their work with very encouraging results. The foundation of two new national commissions, those of India and Switzerland, was reported.

The twenty-ninth session of the Executive Board of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, Paris, March 13–April 7, 1952, devoted most of its attention to the draft program and budget for 1953 and 1954. In presenting the drafts, the Secretary-General (Torres-Bodet) pointed out that they had been prepared, insofar as possible, to allow for a probable gap between UNESCO's actual resources and its theoretical budget brought about by members in arrears in contributions. In addition, the suggestions of the General Conference and the Economic and Social Council on program priorities had been followed. If UNESCO were to maintain its present level of activity, he continued, it would be necessary for the assessed budgets for each of the years 1953 and 1954 to be $9,895,029, an increase of $1,267,029 each year over the 1952 figure. Any expansion of the program, and the Director-General several times expressed opposition to stabilizing the program at its present level, would involve an even greater increase.
