Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we
live with today, and what we pass on to future
generations. Our cultural and natural heritage
are both irreplaceable sources of life and
inspiration. Places as unique and diverse as the
wilds of East Africa¡¯s Serengeti, the Pyramids
of Egypt, the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
and the Baroque cathedrals of Latin America make
up our world¡¯s heritage.
What makes the concept of World Heritage
exceptional is its universal application. World
Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the
world, irrespective of the territory on which
they are located.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to
encourage the identification, protection and
preservation of cultural and natural heritage
around the world considered to be of outstanding
value to humanity. This is embodied in an
international treaty called the
Convention
concerning the Protection of the World Cultural
and Natural Heritage, adopted by
UNESCO in 1972.
UNESCO's World Heritage mission is to :
|
 |
encourage countries to sign the World Heritage Convention and to
ensure the protection of their natural and
cultural heritage; |
|
|
encourage States Parties to the Convention to nominate sites
within their national territory for inclusion on
the World Heritage List; |
|
|
encourage States Parties to establish management plans and set up
reporting systems on the state of conservation
of their World Heritage sites; |
|
|
help States Parties safeguard World Heritage properties by
providing technical assistance and professional
training; |
|
|
provide emergency assistance for World Heritage sites in
immediate danger; |
|
|
support States Parties' public awareness-building activities for
World Heritage conservation; |
|
|
encourage participation of the local population in the
preservation of their cultural and natural
heritage; |
|
|
encourage international cooperation in the conservation of our
world's cultural and natural heritage.
|
In 1994, the World Heritage Committee launched
the
Global Strategy for a Balanced, Representative
and Credible World Heritage List.
Its aim is to ensure that the List reflects the
world's cultural and natural diversity of
outstanding universal value.
Twenty-two years after the adoption of the 1972
Convention concerning the Protection of the
World Cultural and Natural Heritage, the World
Heritage List lacked balance in the type of
inscribed properties and in the geographical
areas of the world that were represented. Among
the 410 properties, 304 were cultural sites and
only 90 were natural and 16 mixed, while the
vast majority is located in developed regions of
the world, notably in Europe. This section
includes the
objectives
of the Global Strategy,
analysis
of the need for it,
on-going
efforts and related
conferences and
studies.
The objectives of the Global Strategy
By adopting the Global Strategy, the World
Heritage Committee wanted to broaden the
definition of World Heritage to better reflect
the full spectrum of our world¡¯s cultural and
natural treasures and to provide a comprehensive
framework and operational methodology for
implementing the World Heritage Convention.
This new vision goes beyond the narrow
definitions of heritage and strives to recognize
and protect sites that are outstanding
demonstrations of human coexistence with the
land as well as human interactions, cultural
coexistence, spirituality and creative
expression.
Crucial to the Global Strategy are efforts to
encourage countries to become States Parties to
the Convention, to prepare Tentative Lists and
to prepare nominations of properties from
categories and regions currently not
well-represented on the World Heritage List.
A global study carried out by ICOMOS from 1987
to 1993 revealed that Europe, historic towns and
religious monuments, Christianity, historical
periods and ¡®elitist¡¯ architecture (in
relation to vernacular) were all
over-represented on the World Heritage List;
whereas, all living cultures, and especially
¡®traditional cultures¡¯, were underrepresented.
At its 28th session in 2004, the World Heritage
Committee reviewed more recent analyses of the
World Heritage List and the Tentative Lists
prepared by ICOMOS and IUCN. Both analyses were
carried out on regional, chronological,
geographical and thematic basis¡¯ in order to
evaluate the progress of the Global Strategy.
ICOMOS¡¯ study found that the reasons for the
gaps in the World Heritage List fall into two
main categories: structural ¨C relating to the
World Heritage nomination process, and to
managing and protecting cultural properties; and
qualitative ¨C relating to the way properties
are identified, assessed and evaluated.
IUCN¡¯s study pointed out that the natural and
mixed sites currently inscribed on the World
Heritage List cover almost all regions and
habitats of the world with a relatively balanced
distribution. However, there are still major
gaps in the World Heritage List for natural
areas such as: tropical/temperate grasslands,
savannas, lake systems, tundra and polar
systems, and cold winter deserts.
Since the launching of the Global Strategy, 39
new countries have ratified the World Heritage
Convention, many from small Pacific Island
States, Eastern Europe, Africa and Arab States.
The number of countries around the globe that
have signed the World Heritage Convention in the
course of the last ten years has risen from 139
to 178. The number of States Parties who have
submitted Tentative Lists complying with the
format established by the Committee has grown
from 33 to 132. New categories for World
Heritage sites have also been promoted, such as
the categories of cultural landscapes,
itineraries, industrial heritage, deserts,
coastal-marine and small-island sites.
Important conferences and thematic studies aimed
at implementing the Global Strategy have been
held in Africa, the Pacific and Andean
sub-regions, the Arab and Caribbean regions,
central Asia and south-east Asia. These
well-focused studies have become important
guides for the implementation of the World
Heritage Convention in these regions.
In an effort to further enhance the
underrepresented categories of sites and improve
geographical coverage, the World Heritage
Committee has recently decided to limit the
number of nominations that can be presented by
each State Party and the number of nominations
it will review during its session.
The
World Heritage Committee works in cooperation
with every State Party to the World Heritage
Convention as well as its three Advisory Bodies:
ICOMOS, IUCN and ICCROM, in order to make
greater strides in diversifying the World
Heritage List and make it truly balanced and
representative of the world¡¯s heritage.
There exist a great variety of Landscapes that
are representative of the different regions of
the world. Combined works of nature and
humankind, they express a long and intimate
relationship between peoples and their natural
environment.
Certain sites reflect specific techniques of
land use that guarantee and sustain biological
diversity. Others, associated in the minds of
the communities with powerful beliefs and
artistic and traditional customs, embody an
exceptional spiritual relationship of people
with nature.
To reveal and sustain the great diversity of the
interactions between humans and their
environment, to protect living traditional
cultures and preserve the traces of those which
have disappeared, these sites, called cultural
landscapes, have been inscribed on the World
Heritage List.
Cultural landscapes -- cultivated terraces on
lofty mountains, gardens, sacred places ... --
testify to the creative genius, social
development and the imaginative and spiritual
vitality of humanity. They are part of our
collective identity.
To date, 55 properties on the World Heritage
List have been included as cultural landscapes.

In 1992 the World Heritage Convention became the
first international legal instrument to
recognise and protect cultural landscapes. The
Committee at its 16th session adopted guidelines
concerning their inclusion in the World Heritage
List.
The Committee acknowledged that cultural
landscapes represent the "combined works of
nature and of man" designated in Article 1 of
the Convention. They are illustrative of the
evolution of human society and settlement over
time, under the influence of the physical
constraints and/or opportunities presented by
their natural environment and of successive
social, economic and cultural forces, both
external and internal.
The term "cultural landscape" embraces a
diversity of manifestations of the interaction
between humankind and its natural environment.
Cultural landscapes often reflect specific
techniques of sustainable land-use, considering
the characteristics and limits of the natural
environment they are established in, and a
specific spiritual relation to nature.
Protection of cultural landscapes can contribute
to modern techniques of sustainable land-use and
can maintain or enhance natural values in the
landscape. The continued existence of
traditional forms of land-use supports
biological diversity in many regions of the
world. The protection of traditional cultural
landscapes is therefore helpful in maintaining
biological diversity.
