Abstract

Policy and Administration

UNESCO

Australian policy

Unesco (the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation) was established in 1946, and the Australian government organisation responsible for advising on the implementation and coordination of Unesco policies and programs in Australia is the Australian National Commission for Unesco. Working from a Rawlsian notion of a public institution, a range of reforms are suggested for the commission: development of a charter, publication of an Annual Report, widening the membership of the commission, funding reforms, training of the membership of the commission, establishing a right of appeal against Commission decisions, and developing programs for public participation. It is suggested that the above reforms may assist in establishing and strengthening the Australian Commission for Unesco as a significant and independent public institution in Australia, and thus assist in the implementation of Unesco programs and projects in the future.
