Its core principles emanate from the United Nations charter, that visionary document of world peace and progress. The school’s international environment—in which people of many nations, faiths and points of view study, work and play together—sets an admirable example of mutual tolerance and understanding.” • Kofi A. Annan • United Nations Security General 1997-2006 • Remarks on UNIS’ 50th Anniversary
