Central Treaty Organization (1 folder, Box 2)
The Baghdad Pact was a defensive organization for promoting shared political, military and economic goals founded in 1955 by Turkey, Iraq, Great Britain, Pakistan and Iran. Similar to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the Southeast Asia Treaty Organization, the main purpose of the Baghdad Pact was to prevent communist incursions and foster peace in the Middle East. It was renamed the Central Treaty Organization, or CENTO, in 1959 after Iraq pulled out of the Pact.

CENTO never actually provided its members with a means for guaranteeing collective defense. After the withdrawal of Iraq from the Baghdad Pact, CENTO moved its headquarters to Ankara, Turkey, and the United States continued to support the organization as an associate, but not as a member. In 1979, the Iranian revolution led to the overthrow of the shah and Iran’s withdrawal from CENTO. Pakistan also withdrew that year after determining the organization no longer had a role to play in bolstering its security. CENTO formally disbanded in 1979.

This secondary subject category contains material relating to the United States role in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the decision made in late 1983 to withdraw U.S. funding and U.S. participation in this organization.
From the mid-1970s UNESCO general meetings and resolutions became increasingly politicized, frequently pitting the United States and its allies against the Soviet bloc and lesser developed nations.  The situation reached a crisis point when UNESCO passed a resolution in 1980 adopting a “New World Information Order” which was perceived by many, including professional journalists, as an infringement on freedom of the press. The Reagan Administration stated that it would no longer tolerate politicization of issues, wasteful spending and bureaucratic bloat in this organization.  Not enough reform was perceived in the following three years and the United States withdraw at the end of 1984. Following the U.S. withdrawal, the United Kingdom and Singapore withdrew in 1985.

The United States insisted they would return as a full member of UNESCO after enough reforms were enacted and the policy became less politicized.  A reform observation group was formed to monitor UNESCO actions and the International Political Committee of the U.S. State Department provided quarterly reports.

The United States returned to UNESCO as a full member in 2003.
