The conference addressed five UNESCO priority themes: (i) Education for All, (ii) International conventions, (iii) Access to water, (iv) Promotion of human rights and democracy and (v) Access to information and knowledge. An introductory session was dedicated to mechanisms of partnership with parliamentarians.
