The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) on Thursday announced the suspension of cooperation with violence-wracked Libya.
The Paris-based U.N. agency signed a partnership agreement with the Gaddafi International Foundation for Charity Associations in 2001 to engage in a range of activities in the fields of science, culture and communication.
"This partnership has now been terminated," UNESCO Director General Irina Bokova said in a statement.
UNESCO made the decision after the U.N. General Assembly suspended Libya from the U.N. Human Rights Council on Tuesday, according to the statement.
