UNESCO pays tribute to the memory of Pope Francis @Pontifex. He was a powerful voice for peace and human dignity through education, science and culture. He was deeply committed to the protection of nature and to the ethics of emerging technologies. As a leading figure in interreligious dialogue, he was also a strong supporter of @UNESCO’s reconstruction of #Mosul’s Old City. We extend our deepest condolences to Catholics around the world.
