Having examined the preliminary study of the legal and technical aspects of International regulations in education for international understanding, cooperation, and peace, the Executive Board of Unesco decided to include this question in the Provisional Agenda of the seventeenth session of the General Conference, Paris, 1972. The text of that decision is found in this document. Annex One gives a summary of the relevant discussions and Annex Two reproduces the study. Examined were: 1) the historical background of international education efforts; 2) definitions and content of education for international understanding, cooperation and peace; 3) the present position of education in member states; and 4) the feasibility and advisability of formulating new standards. Attached as Appendix I is a recommendation concerning the direction of school programs towards international peace and security (drafted in 1949 and submitted to the General Conference at its sixth session, in 1951). Appendix II presents some definitions of education for international understanding. (JMB)
