Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, UNESCO's own 1945 founding legal instrument, is the primary treaty text establishing the organization. Its strength is that it is the founding document itself, checkable against its own provisions. Its limit is that it is the constitutive legal text, not an independent history of UNESCO's subsequent activity or of the specific programs, such as its heritage listings, that this atlas cites elsewhere, which should be sought in dedicated accounts of the organization's work.
