UNESCO Clubs, Centres and Associations are groups of people of all ages, from all walks of life, and from all over the world, who share a firm belief in the ideals of UNESCO as spelled out in its Constitution and in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Most are grouped in regional and international networks and are involved in global issues that affect local situations. The Clubs' actions are based on sharing, solidarity and exchange, with projects in all of UNESCO's priority areas and reflecting national policy objective.
Although UNESCO allows its name to be used by the Clubs, there is no official link between the Organization and these associations, which are the responsibility of the National Commission for UNESCO in their country.
The aims of UNESCO Clubs are those of the Organization itself, as proclaimed in its Constitution: "to contribute to peace and security by promoting collaboration among the nations through education, science and culture in order to further universal respect for jus-tice, for the rule of law and for the human rights and fundamental freedoms which are affirmed for the peoples of the world, without distinction of race, sex, language or religion, by the Charter of the United Nations."
