Paris: American influence in culture, science and education around the world took a high-profile blow on Friday after the US automatically lost voting rights at UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (Unesco), after missing a crucial deadline to repay its debt to the world’s cultural agency.

The US hasn’t paid its dues to the Paris-based Unesco in protest over the decision by world governments to make Palestine a Unesco member in 2011. Israel suspended its dues at the same time and also lost voting rights on Friday.
