Überreichung der Collage UN durch Herrn Botschafter Dr. Derix an Herrn Federico Mayor, Generaldirektor der UNESCO, am 25. September 1997 in Paris. www.unesco.org The "Collage UNITED NATIONS" is a vivid expression of the increasing interdependence between the nations of the world and reflects a global approach to the complex problems facing us all on the threshold of the third millennium. I consider that it may also be interpreted as an appeal for improved understanding between nations and cultures in the service of the global ethic implicit in UNESCO`s Culture of Peace Programme. Federico Mayor The Director-General United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization
