| Summary: |
The Committee, whose members have just been partly renewed according
to its status, advises UNESCO to define new orientations for the “The
Slave Route” Project and to strengthen the role of the Committee
in the implementation of its activities.
Created by UNESCO in September 1994 (Resolution 27C/3.13 of the
General Conference), the Committee is a consultative body, whose
task is to advise UNESCO on the production of pedagogical materials,
to ensure a consensual approach to Slave Route issues and to create
and promote partnerships.
The Committee was initially composed of 40 members. Further to
its restructuring in 2005, it now counts 20 members appointed by
the Director-General and representing various scientific fields
(history, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, law, etc.) and the
different regions of the world. |
