Self-proclaimed state of Kosovo fails to become UNESCO member

The self-proclaimed republic of Kosovo has failed to gain the two-thirds majority needed for admission to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO. Ninety-two members supported Kosovo’s bid, with 50 voting against and another 29 members abstaining. The vote was taken at the 38th session of the UNESCO General Conference in Paris. On October 21, the UNESCO Executive Committee recommended considering Kosovo’s membership of the organization.
