UNESCO Executive Board 164th session, May 2002:

"a quintessential UNESCO project combining capacity building with vital peace-building through science" and "a model project for other regions"

Nobel Laureates: joint statement by 45 Nobel laureates in June 2008:

"SESAME, as well as producing educational and economic benefits, will serve as a beacon, demonstrating how shared scientific initiatives can help light the way towards peace."

IUPAP (International Union for Pure and Applied Physics) October 2008 resolution:

"The IUPAP strongly endorses SESAME and urges its national committees and Commissions to identify opportunities for continued and expanded assistance to the project, including identifying opportunities for broadening participation by scientists from the region, and raising the visibility of its "science for peace" objectives throughout scientific and policy-making communities."

US Liaison Committee of IUPAP 12 June 2009 resolution:

"We enthusiastically welcome the new international S&T initiatives announced by President Barack Obama in his address in Cairo on 4 June 2009. As noted by the President, the economic, diplomatic and health drivers for these initiatives are compelling. Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia will provide fertile ground for establishing scientific centers to meet the stated goal, and the U.S.A. should play a significant role in establishing such centers. We cite the SESAME project as an initiative that is designed to build bridges between diverse societies and to contribute to the culture of peace through international scientific cooperation."

Chief Executive IOP (Institute of Physics, U.K.) 27 August 2009 letter of support:

"I am writing to express the strong support of the Institute of Physics for the SESEAME project. We share the perspective of the US Liaison Committee of IUPAP and of IUPAP itself, that this is an excellent example of an initiative that should build bridges between diverse societies and contribute to the welfare of people through international scientific co-operation."

IUBMB (International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) September 2009 resolution:

"The IUMBM strongly endorses SESAME and urges its National Committees and Commissions to identify opportunities for continued and expanded assistance to the project, including identifying mechanisms for increased participation by scientists from the region, and raising the visibility of its "science for peace" objectives at the level of scientific and policy-making communities."

U.S. National Commission for UNESCO 26 May 2010 statement:

"We enthusiastically welcome the international science and technology initiatives announced by President Barack Obama in Cairo, June 4, 2009. We wish to recognize the Synchrotron-light for Experimental Science and Applications in the Middle East (SESAME) as a scientific initiative that supports the diplomatic interests of the United States. The U.S. National Commission (USNC) for UNESCO strongly endorses SESAME. As the SESAME Project serves UNESCO's cross-cutting educational, scientific and cultural goals, the USNC urges UNESCO to work with its Member States to identify opportunities for continued support for SESAME and to highlight world-wide SESAME's objectives of 'science for diplomacy'."
