The Executive Board of the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has announced the institution of a UNESCO/Juan Bosch Prize for the Promotion of Social Science Research in Latin America and the Caribbean. The award was proposed by the Dominican delegation with the support of the Latin America and the Caribbean Group (GRULAC) and in coordination with the delegations of Cuba, Venezuela and Costa Rica - countries where Professor Juan Bosch lived during his time in exile. It will present an award to the best social science thesis written by young people in Latin America and the Caribbean every two years. A former President of the Dominican Republic, Professor Juan Bosch was also an author, politician, social analyst and advocate of democratic values and a culture of peace in Latin America and the Caribbean.
