Extract

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) held its tenth General Conference in Paris from November 4 through December 5, 1958, under the presidency of Mr. Jean Berthoin (France). The General Conference recognized as valid the credentials of the delegations of 78 member states, the delegations of 4 associate members, and observers from 2 non-member states. The Conference had before it the report of the Director-General, covering the activities of the organization during 1957 and through September 1958, and the proposed program and budget for 1959–1960. The Director General summed up the activities of UNESCO in 1957–1958 by stating that these years had been marked by the launching of three Major Projects, by the coordinated expansion of the Expanded Program of Technical Assistance and of the program of participation in the activities of member states, by world-wide interest in certain particular achievements in the ordinary program, by a greater degree of concerted action within the UN system, and by the inauguration of UNESCO's definitive head-quarters in Paris on November 3, 1958.
