The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is a specialised agency within the framework of the United Nations. UNESCO is devoted to building peace and cooperation in the minds of human beings through a core focus on education, social and natural sciences, culture, and communication. Its key functions are to bring about collective consensus on ethical issues, disseminate information and knowledge, and assist member states in developing human and institutional capital, with the aim of furthering universal respect for justice, rule of law, human rights and fundamental freedoms, as affirmed by the UN Charter.

Topics:

Mining rights and the freedoms and land rights of indigenous persons.
Historically, indigenous populations have had very little consultation in regards to the mining of sacred lands. Delegates in UNESCO are therefore asked to consider the rights they have and role that they may play when questions of mining agreements arise in the future.

The right of return of cultural artifacts
Delegates are asked to consider the rights of a state to its cultural heritage, in this case, the possession of objects of historical significance that have been removed from the country.
