The United Nations’ cultural and scientific agency UNESCO has announced that the United States plans to rejoin – and pay more than $600m in back dues – after a decade-long dispute sparked by the organisation’s move to include Palestine as a member. The proposed plan to rejoin in 2023 would be submitted to the General Conference of UNESCO Member States for final approval. The decision is a big financial boost to UNESCO, known for its World Heritage programme as well as projects to fight climate change and teach girls to read. The US and Israel stopped funding the agency after it voted to include Palestine as a member state in 2011, and both countries lost their voting rights in 2013. About UNESCO The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialized agency of the United Nations aimed at promoting world peace and security through international cooperation in education, arts, sciences and culture.
