Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2013

On 31 January 2013, the State Party submitted a state of conservation report which provides information on progress made in the implementation of Decision 35 COM 7B.68 made by the World Heritage Committee at its 35th session (UNESCO, 2011). The State Party reports on conservation activities carried out at the property and its immediate surroundings from December 2011 to January 2013, as well as on the process of developing an Integrated Management Plan for the property. The State Party has also submitted the completed and adopted Management Plan containing an overall diagnosis of the conservation issues and details of a comprehensive management system, as well as the related legal and institutional tools for its implementation. The Management Plan has been transmitted to ICOMOS for review.

Analysis and Conclusion by World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies in 2013

The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies are of the view that the concerns of the World Heritage Committee in relation to management have been addressed by the State Party. They therefore consider that no further reporting to the World Heritage Committee is currently required. However, the World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies recommend that the State Party monitor periodically the state of conservation of the property, by assessing the implementation of the new legal and institutional tools, as well as the implementation of the Management Plan.
