WALES AT UNESCO

Posted by Jeff Rees on June 20, 2007 9:52 AM | 

The Welsh Government is not represented at the UNESCO Conference of Parties to the Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions.

The Government of Quebec is participating in the First Ordinary Session of the Conference of the Parties to the UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions which is being held in Paris from June 18 to 20. During this time, countries attending will elect the 24 members of the Convention’s Intergovernmental Committee, the body mandated by the Conference to formulate a plan for implementing the Convention.

Quebec can do this because it has negotiated an Agreement between the Government of Canada and the Government of Quebec concerning Quebec's own representation at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The Welsh Government should be doing the same.
