Wednesday, 5th May 2004
Opening
Ms Carla Zaandam, Chairperson of the Aruba National Commission for UNESCO and host country,
opened the meeting by thanking the local observers and members of several Aruban organizations for
their presence. She expressed her hope that the delegations of Latin America, the Caribbean and
UNESCO were enjoying their stay on the island. The Chairperson said she was very happy that all the
countries of the region, with the exception of Panama and Colombia, were present at these meetings.
Ms Zaandam pointed out that the topics of the Quadrennial Conference had been chosen by consensus
by the National Commissions, and ended her opening speech by expressing the hope that the meeting
would be fruitful and successful.
Mr Haldene Chase, Secretary-General of the Bahamas National Commission for UNESCO and
Chairperson of the 12th Quadrennial and Statutory Regional Conference of National Commissions for
UNESCO of Latin America and the Caribbean (Nassau, Bahamas, 7th-11th May 2001) introduced the
follow-up to recommendations made at said meeting. With regard to the reform process being
undertaken by UNESCO and its implications for the National Commissions of Latin America and the
Caribbean, he mentioned the references in documents 31 C/4 and C/5 to the responsibilities of the
Regional and Cluster Bureaus of UNESCO. During the period under consideration, the UNESCO
Secretariat developed guidelines for improving the relations of the National Commissions with Field
Offices, which will soon be published. Mr Chase also touched on the two circular letters sent by
UNESCO’s Director-General regarding the shared responsibilities between UNESCO and Member
States to reinforce National Commissions, from which repercussions are awaited. Mr Chase also
commented on the growing links between UNESCO and other organizations, including the alliances
with the United Nations system, Parliaments, Associated Schools, NGOs, etc. In particular, the
articulated work between National Commissions and Parliamentary Groups has been considered
fruitful for bolstering legal measures in keeping with UNESCO ideals. Finally, Mr Chase reminded the
audience that the participants of the 12th Quadrennial Regional Conference had expressed their concern
about the little amount of attention given to the Latin American and Caribbean region and the lack of
balance between the importance given to the region in the texts of C/4 and of C/5, and the modest
resources made available for activities in the region. The group expressly stated their hope that this
tendency would be reversed in the next C/5, i.e. in the 33 C/5.

Ms Mary-Louise Kearney, Director of the Division of Relations with National Commissions and New
Partnerships, presented the objectives and results for 2001-2003 and the outlook for 2004-2005 and the
near future. She emphasized the United Nations (UN) reform action, especially the 1999 Global
Compact, the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, and the pursuit of more extensive
relations with civil society. With regard to UNESCO, she underscored the reform consisting of a
greater concentration of the UNESCO Programme, decentralization, new structure and rotation of staff
members and promotion of alliances with civil society. Third, she raised the importance of training
National Commissions’ staff and of UNESCO’s investment in this area. Special mention was made of
the need to promote innovative training action that makes optimal use of the expertise and experience
of Secretaries-General. In this regard, pilot projects took place in late 2003, carried out by Dominica,
France, New Zealand and Slovenia. Their positive results will be shared amongst all National
Commissions; further replication is desirable. With regard to the next stages, starting in 2004-2005, Ms
Kearney referred to:
• The exchange among National Commissions
• The participation of their staff members in capacity building
• The new role to be played by the National Commissions in planning and execution of the
UNESCO Programme
• The pursuit of partnerships with civil society.
Finally, she commented on the particular challenges facing the Division, especially on the status given
to the National Commissions, indicating the existence of Draft Guidelines on relations with the Field
Offices, drawn up by a group of National Commissions. Comments from the remaining National
Commissions were invited to improve this Draft. Concerning this matter, Ms Kearney pointed out the
need for adequate resources for National Commissions, including Internet connectivity and the
availability of new information and communication technologies.
Ms Neda Ferrier, Chief of the UNESCO Section for National Commissions, elaborated on the topic of
the Draft Guidelines, which contain a proposal for the improvement of relations between the National
Commissions and the Field Offices. Deadline for submission of comments is 14th July 2004.
A very high number of National Commissions expressed their ample gratitude for the work developed
in Latin America and the Caribbean by Ms Kearney, emphasizing the significant improvement in joint
activities and smoothness of communication between the Division and the National Commissions.
United Nations International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its
Abolition
At this point, the meeting addressed the topic of the United Nations International Year to
Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition, 2004. Mr Frederic Vacheron,
Programme Specialist, UNESCO ORCALC (Regional Bureau for Culture in Latin America and the
Caribbean) reminded the audience that the United Nations International Call for said International Year
was made last January. He also communicated the results of the Inaugural Meeting of the Regional
Network of Institutions of Research on Afro-American Religions held in Havana, Cuba, in March
2004, during which the participants approved a number of key issues. These can be read in the Final
Declaration and the detailed Network Action Plan. The participants were consulted on a convocation of
artists from Latin America and the Caribbean to design a digital poster about the International Year to
Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition.
3
Mr Jorge Espinal, Chief of UNESCO/Port-au-Prince, pointed out that several events coincided in the
year 2004, namely:
• the 200th anniversary of independence of Haiti -first independent country in Latin America
• the International Year to Commemorate the Struggle against Slavery and its Abolition
• the 10th anniversary of the launching of the UNESCO "Slave Route" Project.
He pointed out the tragedy three continents suffered due to the slave trade, now recognized as genocide
against humanity, and the need to generate a world memory and to give the topic an appropriate place
in school curricula and textbooks.
Mr Jean Coulanges, Secretary-General of the Haiti National Commission for UNESCO, offered a
tribute to his country through the splendid rendition of three songs in Creole and French.
Ms María Clemencia López-Jiménez, Secretary-General of the Venezuela National Commission for
UNESCO, told participants about the growing awareness of her country on the slave subject and the
activities conducted and to be conducted in cooperation with the Ministry of Education, Culture and
Sports and the Afro-Venezuelan Foundation, with which the National Commission has established
links on this theme. A demonstration of educational programme on Afro-Venezuelan history and
culture, drawn up for elementary school, pupils was shown to participants as an example of partnership
between a National Commission and a non-governmental organization.
Finally, Mr Eduardo Cifuentes-Munos, Director of the UNESCO Division of Human Rights, talked
about the struggle against racism and discrimination. This UNESCO activity brings home the most
genuine UNESCO tradition in this field, that of questioning the foundations of racism and supporting
the struggle against apartheid. With regard to this topic, Mr Cifuentes stressed the value of a thought
that produces tangible effects and impact on public policies. Therefore, it is not a passive
contemplation of history, but an active struggle against existing exclusion and discrimination. He
informed the audience that his Division is establishing racial discrimination indicators as a mandate
emanated from the World Conference against Racism, Racial Discrimination, Xenophobia and Related
Intolerance (Durban, South Africa, 2001), as well as a coalition of cities against racism. This last
project entails the commitment to comply with 10 issues concerning local public policies in pursuit of
this struggle. Mr Cifuentes ended his speech by drawing attention to the World Forum on Human
Rights to be held in Nantes, France, from 16th to 19th May 2004.
Thursday, 6th May 2004
Pluralism, Intercultural Dialogue and Indigenous People
This topic was presented by a prestigious panel.
Mr Frederic Vacheron, Programme Specialist, UNESCO ORCALC, first spoke about a group of
concepts connected with the term "indigenous people" internationally used. He underscored that, in this
field, self-definition should prevail, and he mentioned two key moments in this area: the 1981
Declaration of San José and the Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of the Discovery of
America, Meeting of Two Worlds, in 1992. He talked about United Nations actions in favour of
indigenous peoples, accentuating the creation, in 1982, of the United Nations Working Group on
Indigenous People, as well as the 1993 UN Draft Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and
the International Decade of the World's Indigenous Peoples, from 1995 to 2004. Mr Vacheron
4
mentioned the United Nations Millennium Development Goals and its links with UNESCO actions in
favour of indigenous peoples. He said a milestone in the action of the international community was the
establishment, in 2000, of the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Peoples as a subsidiary
organ of the ECOSOC (United Nations Economic and Social Council). Likewise, he highlighted the
capital importance of the Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of
Humanity, and two normative initiatives: the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity
and its Action Plan and the International Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural
Heritage.
The distinguished Ms Vilky J. Pérez Larrea, Vice-Minister of Culture of Ecuador, Chairperson of the
Pro Tempore Secretariat of the Forum of Ministers of Culture and Persons Responsible for Cultural
Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean, brought up the topic of intercultural dialogue and the
indigenous movement in Ecuador. She emphasized the emergence of the indigenous movement in her
country during the nineties as a crucial element in the social, political and cultural fields. She revealed
that this phenomenon had further challenged the view of Ecuador as a culturally homogeneous and unidimensional nation and state. In this regard, she specified the need to intensify the research on the way
in which the states, in their normative action, address the issues of pluriculturalism, multiculturalism
and interculturalism. She explained in detail the connotations of the three terms and the formal
acknowledgement of them by the Ecuadorian State. Ms Pérez Larrea pointed out that intercultural
policies are the ones that, in her opinion, best adapt to the real needs of multicultural states, because
they question the supremacy of a hegemonic culture and promote understanding of "the other". Finally,
she warned about the danger of falling into an idyllic and romantic view of the indigenous world,
which is also being affected by internal and intergenerational conflicts.
Following this, Mr Fortunato Turpo Choquehuanca, Member of the United Nations Permanent
Forum for Indigenous Matters, reminded the audience that, after several years of negotiations, the Draft
Universal Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People was initially approved during the period of
sessions of the United Nations Working Group on Indigenous People. This instrument contains 17
articles and establishes the equality of the rights of said peoples and – at the same time – their right to
be different. Unfortunately, this draft has been delayed in the United Nations Commission on Human
Rights since 1993. Subsequently Mr Turpo Choquehuanca pointed out the need to explore certain
connections between solidarity and cultural diversity, in a globalised world. He said indigenous
peoples have the right to see the dignity of their culture, their traditions and their experiences reflected
in public policies, and that they should be able to exercise their right to participate in state decisions.
Apart from the mentioned Draft Declaration, Mr Turpo Choquehuanca indicated that the greatest
achievement was the creation, in the year 2000, of the United Nations Permanent Forum for Indigenous
Matters, a body that has already had two sessions since it was set up. During its next session (May
2004), the Forum will recommend that indigenous peoples be represented on National Commissions
for UNESCO. Finally, he informed the audience that the suggestion will also be made at that session to
extend the United Nations Decade for Indigenous Peoples by an additional 10-year period and that
UNESCO take up the leadership of it. He underlined that the Forum has taken the initiative to
implement recommendations 109 and 110 of the General Report of the Third Session of the Permanent
Forum regarding the establishment of an Intercultural Indigenous University in the Andes Region.
Ms Olga Ruffins Machin, National Project Official, UNESCO ORCALC, described the welcome
given by the Member States to the Virtual Forum of Ministers of Culture and Persons Responsible for
Cultural Policy in Latin America and the Caribbean. Thanks to the support given by UNESCO, the
original project gradually expanded until it became the "Portal of Culture for Latin America and the
Caribbean". Ms Ruffins reminded the audience that the first digital version outlining main features was
5
presented in the context of the XIII Forum of Ministers. The Portal has 15 national coordinators
designated by their countries and is open to other Member States. She said that the central goal of the
Portal is to facilitate intercultural exchange and dialogue by means of virtual debates, like the one
presently being held on underwater cultural heritage. Finally, she asked the National Commissions to
support the Network by approaching the highest cultural authorities of their countries to make sure that
those who have not yet designated their coordinators respond and join the project in an effective way.
Ms María Clemencia López-Jiménez and Mr Alberto Sánchez Molina, of the Venezuelan National
Commission for UNESCO, thanked the previous speakers and told participants about the great
successes of their country in this area, since there are constitutional texts taking up indigenous rights in
an explicit manner, in the preamble and in article 9, 119 (Chapter VIII). They showed an illustrated
dictionary of the Yanomami language and culture, which also contains an inventory of the region’s
fauna and flora. The Yanomami indigenous people live in a border area between Brazil and Venezuela.
Education of Young Leaders and Entrepreneurs
Mr Fernando Sánchez Arias, 59th President of the Junior Chamber International (JCI), explained that
the JCI is a federation of young entrepreneurs where young people can learn how to be better leaders.
Mr Fernández Arias also underscored the contribution of JCI to the community and the educational
programmes offered by the JCI University. Finally, he elaborated on the focus of the JCI and potential
areas of involvement for interested parties.
Renewable Energies
Mr Osman Benchikh, Programme Specialist, SC/BES, Coordinator of Energy and Renewable
Energies, UNESCO, brought up the topic of the potential and application of renewable energies for
sustainable development in the LAC region and the world in general. He began by analysing the
concepts of energies and renewable energies, as well as the indicators of access to and use of these
energies by region and worldwide. He drew attention to the significance of renewable energies for the
creation of jobs and to UNESCO's commitment in the field of energy, which dates back to 1952, when
the Arid Zone Programme was started. Since then, this activity has been continued throughout several
specialized congresses and conferences that culminated in the 1996 World Solar Summit and in several
resolutions of the UN General Assembly. Mr Benchikh emphasized that the global goal is to maximize
the energy capacity of Member States, to develop academic and technical capacities, and to define
national and large-scale policies. He then presented the Renewable Energies Programme for the region,
which is aimed at defining global projects in different related fields, generating capacity at universities,
and boosting social consciousness with regard to the application of renewable energies and to basic
necessities.
Concerning renewable energies in Latin America and the Caribbean, Mr Alfredo Curbelo Alonso,
Director, Division for Innovation and Energy, Ministry of Science, Technology and Environment of
Cuba, laid emphasis on the importance of international commitment to the development of sustainable
energy and compliance with the United Nations Millennium Development Goals. Secondly, he outlined
the effect of energy on the three facets of sustainable development, i.e. the environmental, social and
economic dimensions. He further commented on the present energy situation and the outlook regarding
energy in Latin America, the review of technologies, and the need for a change of paradigm with
regard to access to and consumption of energy. The latter should be aimed at promoting cultural change
6
and political decision-making processes in this area, and at solidarity and awareness-raising of civil
society. Mr Curbelo Alonso concluded his speech by underscoring the assistance offered to countries
by UNESCO to implement a Renewable Energies Programme in the region (the GREET Programme;
documents concerning this programme were distributed).
Participants gave both speakers an ovation. A considerable group of National Commissions for
UNESCO expressed their thanks for the contributions made by UNESCO in this field, which is still
little-known, and asked for specific support with regard to the presented programme. The floor was
given to observers, including the Director of the Aruba Energy Plant and the former Director of the
Aruban Environmental Department, both of whom underscored the relevance of the actions taken by
UNESCO with a view to local development.
After thanking the previous speakers, the Venezuelan National Commission pointed out it could be
thought suspicious to defend this matter when coming from an oil producer country. However,
Venezuela understands the importance of sustainable development and the search for new sources of
energy. More information on the work of the Organization was requested. Ms. López-Jiménez
proposed herself as link between UNESCO and the Ministry of Energy in order to maximize profit
from the experience in this field, due to the fact that Venezuela, in its new law regarding hydrocarbons,
foresees a high percentage of budget marked for scientific research.
Barbados+10 Review and Mauritius 2004
Mr Dirk Troost, Chief SC/CSI & Focal Point for Barbados+10 and Mauritius 2004, UNESCO,
showed a video and gave a dissertation on this topic. He began his presentation by making clear the
new vision and actions of UNESCO with regard to Small Island States. In the future, this work will
concentrate on three aspects: first, the consolidation and reinforcement of the Programme of Action
related to these states; second, the expansion of these actions; and third, the pursuit of new focuses and
perspectives in the region. Mr Troost also gave a presentation on Barbados+10 and Mauritius 2004,
emphasizing the three most important issues for UNESCO:
1. Building networks for consolidation and strengthening the various fields of the Small Island
Developing States Programme of Action
2. Incorporation of these States' cultural strengths (island music, traditional knowledge and skills),
identity and cultural heritage in the Programme
3. Development of "out-of-the-box" thinking, considering the islands as cultural crossroads.
In conclusion, Mr Troost put the accent on the weight UNESCO attaches to recognizing the perspective
of the islanders, especially young people, on the environment and on local development, as well as to
integrating new technologies, in particular the use of the Internet for virtual discussions to connect
these traditionally isolated States at local, regional and international levels.
Closing
The Quadrennial Conference ended with participants expressing their warm thanks to the different
UNESCO Sectors for having made this meeting possible and for the generous hospitality of the Aruba
National Commission for UNESCO, which ensured the attainment of fruitful results throughout the
meeting.
