💨 Abstract

UNESCO announced on May 4, 2025, that Nicaragua has withdrawn from the UN cultural body in protest over a press freedom award. The withdrawal comes following UNESCO's recognition of Nicaraguan journalist Gioconda Belli for her work in defending press freedom. The move by Nicaragua is a response to the international organization's criticism of the country's deteriorating human rights record.
