Abstract

[Since its formal entry in 1951, Japan has consistently been one of the most ardent advocates among the member states for the fundamental principles of UNESCO and its programs, and the country is today one of the organization’s biggest financial contributors. The Japanese diplomat Matsuura Koichiro1 served as the director-general of UNESCO from 1999 to 2009, and there are at present 270 UNESCO associations throughout the country with a view to advancing private cooperation activities in conformity to the constitution of the organization. Altogether, it is evident that UNESCO has in general been widely and positively recognized in Japan for decades.]
