Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, chapter IX, § 4. Root system associated to a compact group

It can be shown (cf. Exercise 2 of §5) that π2(G/H)\pi_2(G/H) is zero. The exactness of the preceding sequence then gives an isomorphism from π2(G/H)\pi_2(G/H) to N(G,T)/N(H,T)N(G,T)/N(H,T).

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
