BIA takes part in annual BBI advocacy mission to UNESCO

Bureau director, Dr Jeremy Havardi, was among a number of participants that took part in BBI’s annual advocacy mission at UNESCO in Paris. He held a number of meetings with senior diplomats, including the Ambassadors of Lithuania, Mexico, the UK, Holland, Austria and Greece. The discussions centred around the conflict in the Middle East and defending Israel’s political objectives in Gaza, politicisation at UNESCO, antisemitism and the BDS movement and a number of other important topics. The feedback was mostly positive and the discussions were constructive and engaging.
