Worbs made the remarks on the sidelines of the V Baku International Humanitarian Forum, which kicked off Sept. 29 in Azerbaijan’s capital.
He said that the humanitarian forums, which were held previously, made a huge contribution to the UNESCO’s work.
The work that is being conducted here is in accordance with the UNESCO mandate, he noted adding that the discussion of challenges facing the world and holding the exchange of views in order to solve them is an important issue.
The number of conflicts is growing in the world, he noted.
“In such circumstances, we need unbiased media,” added the UNESCO official.
Civil societies also must be attracted to the settlement of conflicts, noted Worbs adding that from this perspective, it is very important to hold such forums and to conduct discussions in connection with the solution of these issues.
The UNESCO is waiting for significant results from this forum, he added.
