UNESCO: USA will come out again – “not in national interest”

The United States is running out of UNESCO again. Membership in the UN education and cultural organization is “not in the national interest” of the country, the Foreign Ministry in Washington said on Tuesday. “The decision of the UNESCO to allow the ‘state of Palestine’ as a member state is highly problematic,” it said. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs claimed that this had contributed to the distribution of anti -Israel rhetoric within the organization. The exit would be effective at the end of 2026.

The United States had temporarily left the UNESCO during the first term of President Donald Trump.

The UNESCO promotes split social and cultural concerns and focuses excessively on the goals for the sustainable development of the United Nations. This is a globalist, ideological agenda that contradicts the “America First” foreign policy of the US government.

At the beginning of the year, US President Donald Trump had signed a decree that questions the participation of the United States in several United Nations organizations (UN). Among other things, membership should be checked at UNESCO.

The United States had only returned to UNESCO under the then President Joe Biden in mid -2023. Its predecessor and successor Donald Trump had already led the country out of the organization during his first term at the end of 2018 and accused her of an anti-Israeli attitude. After his re-election, Trump has already announced the exit from the World Health Organization (WHO) and hired the payments to the UN Palestinian aid work.

The organization of the United Nations for Education, Science and Culture (UNESCO) is primarily known for the appointment of World Heritage Sites. The United States had already left UNESCO in 1984. At that time, mismanagement and an anti-American attitude were cited as reasons. In 2003 the USA joined again. Most recently, the United States wore about eight percent of the UNESCO budget.

UNESCO is primarily known for the lists of the World Heritage Site. However, the organization with around 2,000 employees and a three -digit million budget is active in many other fields – from education to biosphere reserves to equality. Your mandate is to contribute to the preservation of peace and security by promoting international cooperation in education, science, culture and communication. 194 countries are currently a member of the UNESCO, which is based in Paris. Germany joined the UNESCO in 1951.

Earlier information from the German Society for the United Nations after the United States was missing by the United States’ leakage annually for the ordinary budget: between 2011, when the United States hired the payment of its compulsory contributions in the course of membership of the Palestinian areas, and the 2018 expiration gained a short amount of around $ 612 million.
