Tunisia's presence in specialized international agencies and organizations Tunisia's election as a member of UNESCO's executive council illustrates its keen interest in cultural and educational matters; it further demonstrates the international community's high regard for the role of Tunisia. Tunisia's membership of the International Migration Organization comes as a reinforcement of the mechanisms used by the Tunisian Government to provide Tunisian citizens living abroad with all due care and to keep in tune with all international developments and policies related to migration, so as to protect the rights of Tunisians living abroad and to defend their interests at all levels. Tunisia's presence in UN-sponsored international conferences Tunisia has participated in all UN-sponsored conferences on such topics as human rights, the environment, social development, women's rights, housing, population, and development. It has endeavored to play an effective role in such conferences and in formulation of recommendations and work programs, relying in this on a rich experience which has been the hallmark of its endeavors since the 1987 Change. Such conferences allow Tunisia to promote the commitment to the rule of law, respect for human rights, promotion of tolerance, and social and cultural integration of all individuals and sections of society. Tunisia's diplomacy has played a very active role in the year 2000 on two important occasions: (1) the meeting held in New York to follow-up on the work program of the Beijing Conference on promoting the rights of women; and (2) the meeting held in Geneva to follow-up on the recommendations adopted in the Copenhagen Conference on social development. The proceedings of the first meeting were an opportunity for the Tunisian delegation to highlight the pioneering experience of Tunisia in promoting the rights of women, an experience which was duly noted in the recommendations of the Beijing Conference. The second forum was an opportunity for the Tunisian delegation to present Tunisia's pioneering experience in the area of social development and to highlight the deep human dimension of the policies adopted in this field. This was also an opportunity to shed light on the results of the National Solidarity Fund's intervention to promote needy areas and eradicate poverty.
