In fact, this isn't in their suggestions either; at p. 21 they say 
«Allow the creation of variations and enhancements through open 
licences» as if licenses were enough; and the weird "open definition" 
they use for unknown reasons http://opendefinition.org/okd/ doesn't 
mention source.
I could add that they say «Use open formats wherever possible to make it 
easier for alternative access systems and devices to display and control 
the resource» but UNESCO page[1] says "Download Acrobat reader". :-/

That said, my question was more a pragmatic one, like: how can I exploit 
such (partly) good things UNESCO states to get the management/staff of 
my university use and produce more free/open tools and materials?
