UNESCO unmoved to try and end humanitarian crisis

By David Singer - posted Tuesday, 31 January 2012


Ironically the one lifeline that could possibly end this growing humanitarian crisis - my suggested approach to the International Court of Justice - continues to remain unconsidered by UNESCO .

If my submission is upheld - and UNESCO has yet to dispute its conclusions - Palestine's admission to UNESCO will be declared null and void - but the budget short fall will be eliminated and a multitude of UNESCO's global humanitarian programs will be saved from the funding axe.

If my submission is not upheld - then Palestine's admission to UNESCO will be confirmed, the meaning of the UNESCO Constitution will be clarified and UNESCO can hold its head high in having attempted to take some positive action to reinstate the loss of 22% of its funding.

I estimate the approach to the ICJ to judicially determine whether Palestine's admission to UNESCO was legal or not - would cost UNESCO $100000 .

Will UNESCO take the plunge - or just keep rearranging the deckchairs whilst the ship sinks?
