12Considering that the Constitution of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization urges co-operation between nations in all branches of intellectual activity, including 'the exchange of publications, objects of artistic and scientific interest and other materials of information' and provides further that the Organization shall 'collaborate in the work of advancing the mutual knowledge and understanding of peoples, through all means of mass communication and to that and recommend such international agreements as may be necessary to promote the free flow of ideas by word and image';

13Recognize that these aims will be effectively furthered by an international agreement facilitating the free flow of books, publications and educational, scientific and cultural materials; and

135Reaffirming the principles on which the Agreement, hereinafter called 'the Agreement' is based,

136Considering that this Agreement has proved to be an effective instrument in lowering customs barriers and reducing other economic restrictions that impede the exchange of ideas and knowledge,

142Recalling, moreover, the customs conventions concluded under the auspices of the Customs Co-operation Council, in consultation with the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, concerning the temporary importation of educational, scientific and cultural materials,

143Convinced that new arrangements should be made and that such arrangements will contribute even more effectively to the development of education, science and culture which constitute the essential bases of economic and social progress,

300Preambula

301Līgumslēdzējas Valstis,

302ievērojot to, ka brīva ideju un zināšanu apmaiņa, kā arī, vispārīgā nozīmē, plaša dažādu civilizācijas pašizpausmes formu izplatīšana ir ārkārtīgi svarīga gan intelektuālai attīstībai, gan starptautiskai sapratnei un līdz ar to — miera uzturēšanai pasaulē;

303ievērojot to, ka šādu apmaiņu galvenokārt nodrošina ar grāmatu, izdevumu, kā arī izglītības, zinātnes un kultūras materiālu starpniecību;

304ievērojot to, ka Apvienoto Nāciju Izglītības, zinātnes un kultūras organizācijas Statūti aicina uz valstu sadarbību visās intelektuālās darbības jomās, tostarp uz "apmaiņu ar izdevumiem, mākslinieciski un zinātniski vērtīgiem priekšmetiem un citiem informatīviem materiāliem", un arī nosaka, ka organizācijai jādarbojas, "lai veicinātu tautu savstarpēju izziņu un sapratni ar masu saziņas līdzekļu starpniecību", un ka tādēļ tā "iesaka slēgt tādus starptautiskus nolīgumus, kas atvieglotu ideju brīvu izplatīšanu vārdos un attēlos";

305atzīstot, ka šos mērķus efektīvi palīdzētu sasniegt starptautisks nolīgums, kas veicinātu brīvu grāmatu, izdevumu, kā arī izglītības, zinātnes un kultūras materiālu apriti; un

315II pants
