« Une personne âgée qui meurt, c’est comme une bibliothèque qui brûle ». Jamais ces mots ne seront aussi justes que pour décrire la disparition du Professeur Amadou Mahtar Mbow, Directeur général de l’UNESCO entre 1974 et 1987.

@KishoreRao10 @elounasso @UNESCO You see… I don’t use very much X and I posted (then removed) what I thought it was a simple reply to you…
Hope to see you in Goa, in Paris or elsewhere

Great privilege to exchange with the United Nations Deputy Secretary-General @AminaJMohammed at the Executive Board of @unesco .
What she said on how to accelerate @SDG2030 is definitely food for thought

I’m devastated by this news. Jukka was my mentor and friend for more than 30 years, and I am where I am only because he took a chance and hired me in 1996 to work on the first ITUC course. The heritage community has lost a giant today, and I have no words to express my grief.

Happy Birthday to #unesco World Heritage Convention that turns 50 and to the #worldheritage Centre that is 30. We wish you a lot of Credibility and Conservation for the years to come.

After 4 years of difficult debates the reflection on sites of memory associated with recent conflicts is ended. This is a major achievement for the #worldheritage Convention & x #unesco. Vera Lacoeuilhe’s wise chairmanship made possible to get a positive outcome @VeraForReform
