UNESCO statements on race

UNESCO’s statements on race emphasize that race is a social construct with no biological basis, and that all humans are fundamentally equal regardless of skin color or ethnicity. They highlight that differences among people are primarily cultural and historical, not innate or scientific. UNESCO promotes understanding, tolerance, and respect among diverse populations, condemning discrimination and racism. Their goal is to foster a view of human unity, recognizing diversity as a part of our shared humanity, and to challenge pseudoscientific ideas that have historically justified inequality or prejudice.
