The State Department has notified UNESCO of the United States' decision to rejoin after withdrawing in 2017.
Deputy Secretary of State Richard Verma sent a letter to the UN organization June 8 that is presumed to contain a plan of how the country will come back on as a voting member, according to a source cited by Axios. In an email obtained by the outlet, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay called a meeting between member states slated for Monday to discuss"urgent strategic information.
President Ronald Reagan was the first to announce U.S. withdrawal in 1983, followed by Margaret Thatcher’s United Kingdom. Then, George W. Bush reentered in 2003, and the country paid its dues to remain a voting member until 2011. Once the debts collected between 2011 and 2017 are paid, it will cost the U.S. roughly $100 million a year to remain a voting member.UNESCO did not respond to the Washington Examiner's request for comment.
Israel is not an UNESCO member state since it also left shortly after the U.S. withdrew in 2017. Palestine, however, has been a member since 2011.
