...loss of all Western financial support, which totals over half of the UNESCO budget, could threaten the body's valuable work--helping disadvantaged people in poor nations through education and self-help programs. Granted, there is a need to redress the communications imbalance, but to do so with a document that threatens freedom of the press, splits universal support and spells potential disaster for a worthy international organization seems absolutely foolish. UNESCO would be wise to see the proposed "new information order" for the facade for government control of the media that it really is. Otherwise, it could wind...
