During the visit, he underscored the importance of protecting scientific and research centres in accordance with international laws and commitments.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Referring to Shahid Beheshti University\u2019s scientific standing, he stated that the university\u2019s professors, researchers, and students have played an effective role in advancing knowledge and scientific progress in the country, and that their work contributes to improving the quality of life and well-being of human societies.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Emphasizing that the identity and value of universities extend beyond their physical dimensions, the Secretary-General of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO noted that the building targeted at Shahid Beheshti University is not merely a physical structure, but a symbol of an attack on science, research, and knowledge production. Any attack on universities and research centres is, in effect, an attack on science and the efforts undertaken to improve human lives.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The Security of Scientific Institutions: A Global Responsibility<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Referring to international instruments, recommendations, and conventions related to education and research, he stressed that schools, universities, and scientific institutions must enjoy security and protection. The international community has a responsibility to ensure that pupils, students, professors, and researchers can continue their educational and scientific activities in a safe environment.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>The Safety of Scientists: A Priority for the Global Scientific Community<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Fartousi also announced an upcoming UNESCO meeting focusing on the safety and security of scientists and researchers, describing this issue as a major priority for the international scientific community.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He emphasized that scientists and researchers are not a threat to societies; rather, they are among the most important drivers of development, innovation, and sustainable progress.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In response to a question about the role and responsibilities of international institutions, the Secretary-General of Iran\u2019s National Commission for UNESCO stated that the central issue is not countries\u2019 expectations, but the implementation of the commitments and responsibilities agreed upon in international instruments and conventions.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He identified the protection of cultural heritage, the safeguarding of children, and ensuring the security of educational and research institutions as among the shared responsibilities of the international community.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The visit was organized as part of efforts to introduce the country\u2019s scientific capacities to international media representatives. It provided an opportunity to emphasize the role of scientific and research institutions in societal development and the need to protect them in accordance with international standards and commitments.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">These efforts have contributed to the activities of this institution and the realization of the goals of lasting peace, once again demonstrating the importance of skilled and committed human resources in fulfilling organizational missions.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element
