Sumario:This article addresses how and why the debate on information and communication in Unesco was ended with the "new communication strategy"" promoted by Federico Mayor Zaragoza, after the United States of America and the United Kingdom withdraw in 1985 and 1986, respectively. The author describes the crisis of 1984 using two great novels of the twentieth century: The Process, by Franz Kafka and 1984, by George Orwell. He concludes by saying that the first statements by Donald Trump's ambassador to the UN suggest a new blackmail by US conservatives to the United Nations system."
