   UNESCO WITHDRAWS FROM CONFERENCE
   >
   >
   > Paris, September 15 - UNESCO has decided it will no longer
sponsor

   nor
   > take part in a conference it had been due to co-organize with the
   > Institute of Sathya Sai Education (ISSE, Thailand) and The
Flinders
   > University Institute of International Education (Australia), in
   > Puttaparthi, India, from September 25 to 29. The decision means
   UNESCO is
   > no longer associated in any way ­ through sponsorship,
organization
   or
   > participation of any kind ­ with the conference on
Strengthening
   Values
   > Education: Innovative Approaches to Teacher Education for Peace
   and
   > International Understanding.
   >
   > UNESCO¹s withdrawal was prompted by several factors. Certain
   decisions
   > were taken by the ISSE without consultation, such as plans to
hold
   some
   > of the sessions at the Ashram of the Sathya Sai movement in
   Puttaparthi,
   > and the inclusion of some speakers in the conference programme
   without
   > their previous consent. Furthermore, the Organization is deeply
   concerned
   > about widely-reported allegations of sexual abuse involving
youths
   and
   > children that have been levelled at the leader of the movement in
   > question, Sathya Sai Baba. Whilst it is not for UNESCO to
pronounce
   > itself in this regard, the Organization restates its firm moral
and
   > practical commitment to combating the sexual exploitation of
   children, in
   > application of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of
the
   Child,
   > which requires States to protect children from all forms of
sexual
   > exploitation and violence.
