The General Assembly adopted the Declaration of the 44th International Conference on Education and the corresponding Comprehensive Action Plan for Education for Peace, Human Rights and Democracy. The Declaration and the Programme of Action mark the establishment of "pluralistic educational values" in theory and policy, which embodies the basic spirit of the globalization era.
