Kofi A. Annan United Nations Security General 1997-
2006Remarks on UNIS’ 50th Anniversary
MISSION
“In our increasingly interdependent world, in which the problems we face call for more and deeper global cooperation,
UNIS is uniquely placed to contribute. Its core principles emanate from the United Nations charter, that visionary document
of world peace and progress. The school’s international environment—in
which people of many nations, faiths and points of view study, work and play
together—sets an admirable example of mutual tolerance and understanding.”
“One of the greatest tasks of education all over the world is to
educate the young for peace, because, on the question of peace,
no man of goodwill can be neutral.” U Thant
United Nations Secretary General 1961-1971
