On 2 September 2025, UNESCO Director-General Audrey Azoulay welcomed Timothée Bauer, the new Permanent Delegate of Antigua and Barbuda to UNESCO, during the official Credentials Presentation Ceremony held at UNESCO Headquarters in Paris.
In the meeting that followed, Director-General Azoulay — who served as France’s Minister of Culture prior to leading UNESCO — underlined Antigua and Barbuda’s commitment to active participation in the Organization’s work through its established Permanent Delegation in Paris.
For his part, Permanent Delegate Timothée Bauer, speaking on behalf of Antigua and Barbuda, reaffirmed the country’s determination to consistently support UNESCO’s mission.
He stressed the particular importance of UNESCO’s work for small island developing States, whose economies rely heavily on tourism, highlighting the preservation of tangible and intangible world heritage, as well as the strengthening of international cooperation in education, science, and culture.
These remarks echoed statements expressed by members of the Government of Antigua and Barbuda in recent engagements with UNESCO — including the visit to Paris by Hon. Gaston Browne, Prime Minister, in 2023, during which he paid an official visit to Director-General Azoulay, and the participation of Hon. Daryll Matthew, Minister of Education, Sports and Creative Industries, in UNESCO’s General Conference the same year.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) implements a wide range of targeted support programmes for SIDS, which are of critical importance to countries such as Antigua and Barbuda — ranging from expanding access to advanced education and new technologies, to safeguarding cultural and natural heritage sites, and protecting oceans and small, fragile ecosystems with specific vulnerabilities and needs.
The Permanent Delegate of Antigua and Barbuda, Timothée Bauer, joined the diplomatic service in 2022, first at the country’s Permanent Mission to the United Nations in Geneva and Vienna.
Since 2023, he has been based in Paris, where he also serves as Chargé d’Affaires, heading the Embassy of Antigua and Barbuda to France.
He holds both a Bachelor and a Master of Law from the University of Geneva, together with a teaching qualification from the same University.
Before serving Antigua and Barbuda as a diplomat, Timothée Bauer taught law at various institutions and practiced as an attorney-at-law for over a decade, serving as a Partner at well-recognized law firms.
The presentation of his credentials, and the appointment of a diplomat specialized in education and international law, further strengthens the close ties and active cooperation between Antigua and Barbuda and UNESCO, one of the most important institutions of the United Nations system.

Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing Antigua and Barbuda’s culture and heritage represented on a global stage.
@inform citizen: how can a Caucasian ever represent the interest of a country that is 99% predominantly black African descent. You mean that our nation as blacks are been infantilized as people who can’t take care of themselves and need white paternalistic supervision, even though we love to dub our prime minister Gaston as intelligent, he himself need white supervision to validate him.
Happy to see young people playing such an active role in top positions in our affairs
Our young people should see this and be inspired, diplomacy is another way to serve your country.
Bauer represents a new generation of diplomats. Wishing him success as he carries our flag in Paris.
@Eldread: You are too racist.. And your behavior twisting stories just to push this Racist and victim ideology. Any person that born in Antigua is an Antiguan. Regardless the skin color there is a constitution that protect our rights, you can’t push your hate agenda violating the rights of others, You are a free Man Today, if you are not capable to do things like other does…then is your fault.. You can’t blame your faults and frustrations in life to others.
Is a lie that 99% of population in Antigua are black. You full of lies.. Over 10K people in Antigua are white/mix, so your statistic about % of population is a total lie.
If you want to talk about racism. Why you don’t talk about the BLACK people who treat bad the BLACK people at the Hospital? At the Banks? At Government Institutions?
Just Grow.
