Introduction of the committee
The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) is an
organization under the UN that deals with the progression of education, science, and culture.
Besides that, UNESCO additionally propels a few rights to be protected with the capability of the
law over the rights to education, the rights to knowledge, the rights to scientific advancement or
even taking a part in the development of scientific progress. Based on the UNESCO 1945
constitution, the purpose of this organization is to give harmony and security by upholding joint
effort among the countries through training, education, science, and culture. The United Nations
Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is the authority responsible for the international
coordination in education, science, culture, and communication. It bounds nations and societies,
and the wider public so that each child and citizen:
2. To empower Scientific Research and Training, includes securing the Human Resources
and improving,
4. To give a new drive to mainstream education, and to spread the cultural heritage in order
to keep it well preserved,
Other than being mandated to promote education, sciences, and preserving cultural heritage,
UNESCO also has the power to take key actions in several rights to be advanced such as rights to
freedoms of expression, rights to education, etc. Additionally, UNESCO legitimately works
directly with other UN organs, for example, the General Assembly, Security Council, and the
Economic and Social council by pushing its need issues to other UN organs. Consistently, the
UNESCO has been expounding legitimate instruments in numerous structures, for example,
3
declarations, recommendations, and conventions Those legal documents suggest and recommend
various kinds of solutions to the member states
History of UNESCO
History of the Council After the second world war II, several countries were indeed in the
European Region declared to re-establish a fundamental basic system, including the human rights,
economy, social-humaniora project, and also the most important is education and the rise of
cultural innovation. In order to do that, forecasting the Conference of Allied Ministers of
Education (CAME) to abandon harsh circumstances and focus on global development is
compulsory for that conference; a combined forty-four countries must promote ‘intellectual and
moral solidarity of mankind. Equally important to highlight is the result of the conference has
upcasted the original body named by The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural
Organization (UNESCO). This body has been agreed upon by thirty-seven countries to apply as
Universal Collaboration. Thereafter, the conference UNESCO began in Paris firstly from 19
November to 10 December 1946. It has engaged other countries to gather in, such as Japan and
the Federal Republic of Germany in 1951, continuing with the Russian Federation after the cold
war in 1992 alongside 12 Soviet Governance around. For instance, more than 15 countries were
invited to this UN body and become the current legitimate representative, for example, the Society
Republic of China, and the African Union countries in 1971.

Topic 01: Ensuring quality education and increasing access to e-learning in
remote areas
5
Discussion of the problem
Literacy has the meaning of a set of writing, reading, and counting skills. Apart from the
conventional concept, literacy is also understood as a means of understanding, interpretation,
identification, creation, and communication in an increasingly rapid digital, information-rich, text-
mediated, and fast-changing world. Literacy is essential for development. It is a key to
communicating and learning all kinds of fundamental conditions to the most recent knowledge in
societies. Literacy is also a survival tool in this competitive world with the global crises over water,
food, energy, and socio-economic disparities. Literacy leads to empowerment for all and it helps
to achieve the right to education which is an essential requirement for lifelong learning and it is
vital for human development and to achieve the sustainable development goals (SDGs). Illiteracy
costs are deceptively far-reaching. There are a lot of direct and indirect costs of illiteracy. The
direct costs include the limitation of people in emerging countries and rural areas to get the
opportunities for innovation and it dampens the economic potential of millions of people which
leads to a global economic loss of up to USD $1.19 trillion. Meanwhile, the indirect costs include
the limited opportunities for employment for youth which lead to higher chances of poverty,
crime, and dependence on government welfare or charity. Furthermore, The New England Journal
of Medicine reported that there is a link between illiteracy and health issues. In this disruptive era
literacy is not enough to compete and survive in this world since all of our aspects has been shifted
to become more technical things and IoT (internet of things) related including our education
system. People with reading problems may avoid outpatient clinics or doctor appointments
because they are intimidated by the paperwork moreover if they use e-medical records. People
with low literacy skills are more likely to have poor health including diabetes and heart failure than
those with high literacy skills

(Literacy Challenges UNESCO, 2015)
As what has stated in the data above, the majority of areas in Africa were only having a
literacy rate under 73% and 61 Million of them have not succeeded the primary school. This
number specifically shows that countries with low literacy rates are mostly developing countries
since they have various obstacles to supporting the development programs, as well as facilitating
their citizens to receive proper public services, health treatment, and jobs. Literacy is the basis of
all education systems, how about if all nations began to shift education to online-based? Can all
the nations apply the system and make it more fruitful? can all of the citizens have access to IoT
education while they even cannot succeed in primary school?. When the majority of people cannot
meet the desired quality of education, they are not able to receive a job and an increase in the
unemployment rate, and the poverty situation will follow. And poverty will also lead to global
hunger and prevent the children from getting access to quality education
This high illiteracy and lack of education quality rate also have a huge impact on their national
budget since the cost needed to provide public facilities are higher than in other countries. This
was caused by the situation where most of the citizens have no basic literacy skills such as reading,
writing, and counting, they have little to zero understanding of every information given to them
including basic and regular information such as medication side effects, and transportation route,
or food ingredients. When someone has no know-how on those basic needs like ingredients, it can
lead to several serious problems like food poisoning or fatal allergies. They won't be able to use
public transportation or apply for a job to get a better livelihood. Sub-Saharan Africa is one of the
7
worst affected regions with massive illiteracy rates, out-of-school youth, and unemployment. But
on the other side, this also becomes an issue in developed countries such as the United States,
where they have more than 30 million adults that are not able to read. Other developed countries
like Australia are also affected, especially the indigenous community where unemployment is
widespread. Quality education rates are also divided between women and men since, in most areas,
women face more difficulty to have quality education compared to men. It comes into a result
where the illiteracy rate for women is higher. Based on data conducted from UNESCO, UNICEF,
and various organizations statistics, it shows that women have a significantly lower gap compared
with men specifically in African and Southern Asia countries. below are 2 case studies that will
guide you have more knowledge regarding the impact of low-quality education
About 50% of the Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region’s population is poor. It is also
worsened by the fact that women lack access to quality education in these countries. As a result,
children born to mothers with no education are almost 3 times more likely to die before they are
5 than those born to mothers with secondary education. The other obstacle that is faced by SSA
is the deployment of teachers in remote areas. The generally poor socio-economic conditions make
it difficult to recruit teachers. And those who are already employed usually seek to migrate to urban
areas and it affects a significant gap between rural and urban areas both in quality and quantity of
teachers supplied. When talking about rural or remote areas we cannot standardize the quality of
education in rural areas in all the countries. rural areas in developed countries will be different
from rural areas in developing countries even if both of them are categorized as remote or rural
areas.
In America, illiteracy and low quality of education lead to a host of damaging effects.
Annually, the United States suffers USD 225 billion due to illiteracy which becomes the main root
of unemployment, lack of workplace productivity, and crime. The Washington Literacy Council
stated that 68% of those arrested in the U.S. are illiterate. Based on a New England Journal of
Medicine study, the patients who could not read repeatedly visited emergency rooms and suffered
worse health issues.18 One of the cases is a 64 years old patient with diabetes who did not take his
medication even when he has a high interest in getting well. After consultation with his doctor and
8
with a more simple explanation of medication instructions, this patient left the hospital with a
discharge summary. Five months later, he went to a community clinic and reported that he was
taking medication but his glucose log shows a jumbled mess. After that, the doctors finally
diagnosed him with illiteracy.
The OECD Learning Framework 2030 has been laid out because of quick changes in the
public eye both from natural, financial, and social perspectives. Explicitly on confronting the social
perspective where innovation is the greatest variable on the significant change. This system expects
to make future-prepared understudies. It could be said of liability to take an interest in the planet
while affecting individuals, occasions, and conditions to improve things. There are two variables
to assist people with exploring amidst an intricate and dubious world, which are
1. customized learning climate that propels and upholds understudies to make associations
with various growth opportunities and plan their own learning projects and,
2. lay-out a strong starting point for proficiency and numeracy in the time of advanced
change. A review led to finding the most basic abilities that far off understudies ought to
have alongside innovation working, which basically connected with the capacity to
understand anyone at their core like correspondence, self-heading, dependability,
discipline, drive, adaptability, and self-viability.
Instructors and coaches are supposed to be engaged with the virtual labor force to really encounter
this remote work strategy, and incorporate the required skills into acquiring results and further
illuminating tasks and appraisals. To give fair quality instruction as a cutting edge framework, a
few nations have figured out how to overhaul their educational program and shift their learning
technique into distance learning, however a few different nations, generally creating one, could
likewise confront difficulties in giving the innovation and showing powers required. With the
customary schooling system that is as yet utilized in certain areas, a ton of understudies are
experiencing issues to understand the school material given. They don't have a high-level training
framework which additionally entangles the growing experience. In different cases, more
difficulties happened explicitly in distant regions. Absence of training foundations and showing
powers, the huge measure of youngster work, next to zero access for innovation, and a high lack
of education rate. A few non-industrial nations additionally experience the ill effects of issues that
prevent the advancement of schooling and its results, like political shakiness, monetary hardships,
9
socio-social viewpoint, and instructive difficulties. To accomplish quality schooling for all,
UNESCO and nations overall ought to promptly track down arrangements on the most proficient
method to give the cutting edge school system because of future expert open doors, especially
amidst the inward emergency looked by non-industrial nations. There is likewise a portion of the
past worldwide activities that the UN has made. UNESCO has executed worldwide proficiency
endeavors starting around 1946 to ceaselessly further develop the worldwide proficiency rate, for
example, advancing education overall as followed by the reception of Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) number 4 which is Quality Education. This program runs by pushing the
significance of proficiency as a worldwide plan and guaranteeing collaborations with different
activities including through organizations and organizations. UNESCO additionally upholds
Capacity Development for Education (CapED) for nations to make approaches, projects, and
tasks explicitly for instruction changes, instructor capabilities, Technical and Vocational Education
and Training (TVET), and proficiency for its residents, particularly for young ladies and ladies
since UNESCO likewise advances orientation equity in the entirety of their works. Close to this
venture, they likewise foster a provincial program called Action Research: Measuring Literacy
Program Participants' Learning Outcomes (RAMAA) to extend public capacities by assessing and
observing learning results and the nature of projects directed toward education improvement.
Following the innovation advancement and learning strategy, UNESCO has fundamentally
worked on their program by leading a versatile learning week and starting the UNESCO-Pearson
for Literacy-further developed jobs in the computerized world. While simultaneously they keep up
with refreshed data sets and insights to screen the advancement of the worldwide education rate.
These endeavors have shown results to bring down the ignorance rate in certain nations however
it likewise gives unimportant consequences for most country regions on the planet. There are also
some past conventions that UNESCO and other related bodies made to foster the modern
education system including e-learning systems such as:
10
incorporates guaranteeing free essential training, access to auxiliary and advanced education,
comparable guidelines for all open instructive foundations, preparing open doors for educating,
calling, and so forth.
Bloc positions
Countries are now taking efforts to tackle the issues of the quality of education in their country.
The report shows that countries below are taking various efforts such as EGRA (Early Grade
Reading Assessment) or implementation of foundational skills assessments.
11
Latin America
Countries in Latin America launched a program called LLECE or Latin American Laboratory for
Assessment of the Quality of Education. 15 countries and the Mexican State are participating in
this program. This program is divided into two major assessments; language and mathematics.
Language program goals include the basic identification of different types of text, vocabulary, and
messages, the distinction between audience and text author, and recognizing specific information
in the text. Meanwhile, numeracy, geometry, general skills, operation with numbers, and common
fractions are included in the goals to understand mathematics
Southeast Asia
In 2012, Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics SEA-PLM was launched in an effort to assess
and monitor student acquisition of knowledge and skills and to improve the quality of education
in Southeast Asia. All member countries have set similar curriculums to achieve the goals. The
12
curriculum covers mathematical literacy, reading literacy, writing literacy, and global citizenship
literacy.
Pacific Island
15 countries in the Pacific island launched and administered the PILNA (Pacific Island Literacy
and Numeracy Assessment) program under the pacific community. The program's mission is to
improve learning outcomes for children and youth in Pacific Island countries. The program has
resulted in the overall improvement in the number of literacy and higher education quality across
the region.
1. What can be done to make UNESCO's current programs to be more efficient and effective
in improving the quality of education moreover fostering technology and IoT.
2. Are there any solutions to be used by UNESCO in order to deploy qualified teachers,
provide better education facilities, and access e-learning systems in rural areas?
3. What should be done by UNESCO to raise awareness of the importance of quality of
education and access to the e-learning system in education?
4. How can the United Nations member states, Non-Governmental Organizations, and
stakeholders role in improving the global quality education rate while handling poverty and
unemployment in their own countries?

Topic 02 : Combating the illicit trafficking of cultural property
Background information
Cultural property represents the very identity of various peoples. Thus, protecting it is of great
importance to the preservation of the heritage of humankind. To do so, measures that help prevent
trafficking in cultural property must be established.
The definition of “trafficking in cultural property” that will be used during the conference is as
follows according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). “Trafficking in
cultural property involves several acts that may ultimately result in the loss, destruction, removal,
or theft of irreplaceable items.1” This leads to the peoples who are the true owners of the cultural
property not being able to access them and being neglected their cultural heritage.
A commonly known form of cultural property trafficking is looting. Relics and monuments from
previous generations are oftentimes buried underground. Therefore they are in danger of being
stolen and sold in places such as black markets. And in that process, sites that contained those
artifacts get destroyed and render it impossible for archaeologists to examine the area and study
the past. Like so, trafficking in cultural property occurs all across the globe, but efforts to put a
stop to such crimes are yet to be made.

element of a people’s identity.’ In 1982, the then chairperson of UNESCO’s Intergovernmental
Committee for the Return or Restitution of Cultural Property described the loss of cultural
property in terms of the ‘loss of being.’3”
Cultural identity is indispensable when it comes to one’s journey to find self. To be more specific,
“[it] is a critical piece of your personal identity (and worldview) that develops as you absorb,
interpret, and adopt (or reject) the beliefs, values, behaviors, and norms of the communities in
your life.” Therefore it is important to conserve the cultural property of peoples so that the process
of forming one's cultural identity, and further, personal identity is not interfered with.

Control movement of cultural property (art. 6 to 9) :
Introduce a system of export certificates.
Prohibit the export of cultural property unless it is accompanied by an export certificate.
Prevent museums from buying objects exported from another State Party without an export certificate.
Prohibit the import of objects stolen from museums, religious institutions or public monuments.
Penal sanctions to be imposed on any person contravening these prohibitions.
Emergency import bans may be adopted when the cultural heritage of a State party is seriously endangered by
intense looting of archaeological and ethnological artifacts (Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, etc.).
Require art dealers to maintain a register of the exact origin of each object they purchase.

The specifics of the UNESCO-UNIDROIT Model Provisions are as follows:
Provision 2 – Definition
Undiscovered cultural objects include objects which, consistently with national law, are of importance for
archaeology, prehistory, history, literature, art or science and are located in the soil or underwater.
Provision 5 – Inalienability
The transfer of ownership of a cultural object deemed to be stolen under Provision 4 is null and void, unless it can
be established that the transferor had a valid title to the object at the time of the transfer.

As reported by UNESCO, “[s]ince the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding in 2010,
the [European Union (EU)] and UNESCO have undertaken a number of joint initiatives to
strengthen the regulatory environment and promote capacity-development, supported by the
European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport and Culture (DG
EAC). The current project ‘Inter-regional and crosscutting action aiming to strengthen the fight
against the illicit trafficking of cultural property’ is a continuation of a series of projects related to
the fight against illicit trafficking of cultural property.”

boundaries between Member States, the Regulation tries to balance the concept of free mobility
with the protection of cultural heritage.
- When importing cultural property into the EU
Regulation (EU) 2019/880 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the introduction
and import of cultural goods aims to prevent the illicit trade in cultural goods, particularly when
such trade may contribute to the financing of terrorist activities, and to prohibit the import into
Union customs territory of cultural goods that have been illegally exported from third countries.
It's also expected to deter tax evasion, money laundering, and other organized crime activities.
In accordance with the ad hoc regulations above, countries that are related to the EU could form
a bloc to further develop already existing regulations into more effective ones.
