On 16 November 1972, UNESCO adopted the \u00abConvention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage\u00bb. It is the most important universal convention for the safeguarding of cultural and natural heritage, and perhaps the most crucial ever adopted by the international community.<\/p>\n
The guiding principle of the World Heritage Convention is the \u00abrecognition that certain parts of the cultural or natural heritage are of exceptional importance and must therefore be preserved as the world heritage of humanity as a whole\u00bb (excerpt from the preamble to the World Heritage Convention). By signing the Convention, States undertake to protect, promote and preserve World Heritage sites within their borders for future generations.<\/p>\n
The Intergovernmental Committee for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage decides each year which sites should be included in the World Heritage List.<\/p>\n
The criteria set out in the World Heritage Convention include the \u00abuniqueness\u00bb and \u00abauthenticity\u00bb (historical) of a cultural monument or site. In addition to the current state of conservation, a convincing conservation and management plan must also be submitted.<\/p>\n
