United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNESCO The West rejected it as an attempt by Third World and Communist dictatorships to destroy freedom of the press (Free Press); the United States withdrew from the organization in protest in 1984, and the United Kingdom withdrew in 1985.
