Standard-Setting in UNESCO
Standard-setting represents one of the main constitutional functions of UNESCO and an important tool for realizing the goals for which the organization was created.

Topics addressed in the first volume include methods of elaboration and implementation, constitutional objectives and legal commitments, international collaboration, and impact. Volume 2 contains conventions and agreements adopted by the General Conference and by intergovernmental conferences convened by UNESO itself or jointly by UNESCO and other international organizations as well as the recommendations issued by the General Conference, and UNESCO declarations.--Publisher's description.
