  • Die Deutsche UNESCO-Kommission e. V. (DUK) ist eine Mittlerorganisation der auswärtigen Kultur- und Bildungspolitik Deutschlands mit Sitz in Bonn und wird vom Auswärtigen Amt gefördert. Da sie die Nationalkommission für Deutschland nach Artikel VII der UNESCO-Verfassung ist, kann sie als nationale „Präsenz der UNESCO in Deutschland“ gelten, wenngleich sie eine von der UNESCO unabhängige Organisation ist. Die UNESCO ist eine der ersten Organisationen der Vereinten Nationen, der Deutschland beigetreten ist. Mit dem Beitritt endete die geistige Isolation, in die Deutschland durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg geraten war. Die Nationalkommissionen der UNESCO bilden ein im System der Vereinten Nationen einzigartiges Netzwerk, um die Ziele der UNESCO in ihren Mitgliedstaaten zu fördern und in die Praxis umzusetzen. Sie beziehen die mit Bildung, Wissenschaft, Kultur und Kommunikation befassten Organisationen und Institutionen des jeweiligen Landes in die Planung, Verwirklichung und Evaluierung des breit gefächerten UNESCO-Programms ein.

The German Commission for UNESCO advises the government, parliament and all other public bodies on UNESCO issues, as well as on other issues of multilateral policy in education, culture and science. It coordinates the contribution of German government, academia, expert institutions and civil society to UNESCO’s programme activities: Education, Natural and Social Sciences, Culture, Communication and Information. Notable activities are the international volunteer service "kulturweit", the German implementation of the UN decade on "Education for Sustainable Development", the German implementation of the UNESCO convention on cultural diversity and a cooperation framework with Africa. The Secretariat with about 45 staff members is located in Bonn and Berlin. Since 2002, the President is Walter Hirche and since 2004, the Secretary-General is Dr. Roland Bernecker. The Bureau and the executive committee of the German Commission for UNESCO are elected for two years, by a general assembly meeting once annually. (en)
