Quotes Ms. Aziza Bennani unanimously elected Chair of UNESCO's Executive Board Ms. Aziza Bennani unanimously elected Chair of UNESCO's Executive Board Within the framework of a renewed, modernized UNESCO, eager to act more than before, within which it is high time that absent countries find their place, we must, together, ensure that the Organization can initiate the process necessary to fully play its role, asserting itself more intensely as an intellectual Organization, a Forum for reflection. Together we must reject any attempt to establish a hierarchy between cultures, any amalgamation between terrorism and a given culture, religion or ideology. We must instead contribute to promoting rationality. Together we must strengthen the ethical sense among peoples, work so that we can enrich ourselves from our differences. Together, we must strengthen the spirit of ethics among nations and work to ensure that our differences become a source of mutual enrichment.
