Convention, Venezuela, also attended the meeting. Also present were observers
from the Council of Europe and international non-governmental organizations
including the International Council of Museums (ICOM) and the International
Union of Architects (IUA).
3. Representatives of the International Centre for the Study of the
Preservation and the Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM), the
International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the World
Conservation Union (IUCN) attended the meeting in an advisory capacity.
II. OPENING SESSION
4. The out-going Chairman of the Committee, Mr. A.C. Da Silva Telles of
Brazil, opened the session. The representative of the Director-General, Mr.
S. Dumitrescu, Assistant Director-General for the Science Sector of Unesco,
welcomed the Committee on behalf of the Director-General of Unesco. He drew
attention to the fact that the Convention had been ratified by 111 States
Parties, about two-thirds of the Member States of Unesco. He welcomed
representatives of States Parties who were attending the sessions of the World
Heritage Committee for the first time and congratulated those States Parties
who were elected as members of the Committee at the Seventh General Assembly
of States Parties to the Convention held on 9 and 13 November 1989.
Subsequently, he drew the attention of the Committee to the outcome of the
General Assembly of States Parties, particularly the Assembly's proposals for
ensuring equitable representation of the different regions and cultures of the
world in the work of the Committee. He highlighted the fact that the
activities of the Convention were adequately reflected in the Third
Medium-Term Plan of *[2] Unesco, specifically in relation to those activities
of the Science and Culture Sectors. He also informed the Committee that, as
requested by previous chairpersons, namely Mr. J. D. Collinson of Canada and
Mr. A. C. Da Silva Telles of Brazil, the General Conference had agreed to
strengthen the Secretariat of the World Heritage Convention by financing six
posts under the Regular Programme Budget of Unesco. After outlining the work
of the Committee, in relation to the different items of the Provisional
Agenda, he concluded his remarks by wishing the Members of the Committee a
successful meeting.
III. ADOPTION OF THE AGENDA
5. The Committee adopted the draft agenda of the session with the inclusion
of two agenda items: invitation to additional observers and the date and place
of the fourteenth ordinary session of the Committee.
IV. ELECTION OF CHAIRMAN, RAPPORTEUR AND VICE-CHAIRMEN
6. Mr. Azedine Beschaouch (Tunisia) was elected Chairman of the Committee by
acclamation. Ms. Christina S. Cameron (Canada) was elected as the Rapporteur,
and Bulgaria, Colombia, Greece, Senegal and Thailand were elected
Vice-Chairmen.
V. REPORT ON ACTIVITIES UNDERTAKEN SINCE THE TWELFTH SESSION
7. The Secretary for the natural part of the Convention, Mr. Bernd von Droste,
reported on the activities undertaken since the twelfth session of the
Committee, held during 5-9 December 1988 in Brasilia (Brazil).
8. Mr. von Droste stated that three States Parties had ratified the Convention
during 1989 and expressed the wish that further efforts be made to encourage
the adherence of new States Parties. The Committee noted the work that the
Secretariat had undertaken to coordinate efforts to conserve the world's
natural heritage with those of other international funds and conventions, such
as the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF-International) and the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). The
Committee noted the development of the proposed draft convention on biological
diversity, evolving within the scope of Unesco's activities as a member of the
Ecosystem Conservation Group (UNEP, FAO, Unesco and IUCN), in order to report
back to the Committee's future sessions on the implications for the World
Heritage Convention. The Committee also noted the promotional activities
briefly described by Mr. von Droste. The Committee noted the different types
of international assistance projects approved and implemented during 1989, and
took special note of the fact that the demand for assistance for training was
growing at a faster rate than other types of international assistance provided
from the World Heritage Fund. Several delegates congratulated the Secretariat
on the work undertaken. The representative from Canada emphasized that other
programmes of Unesco needed to have a better understanding of the work of the
Convention and the decision- making role of the World Heritage Committee. IUCN
informed the Committee of activities which it had undertaken to promote the
Convention. For example, at the Fourth South Pacific Nature Conservation and
Protected Areas Conference, held in Vanuatu in September 1989, IUCN had
presented a report on the Convention and that as a result, several of the
South Pacific countries such as Fiji, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea
had shown their interest in joining the Convention.
VI. REPORT OF THE RAPPORTEUR
9. Ms A. Miltiadou of Greece, the former Rapporteur, presented the results of
the thirteenth session of the Bureau held in Paris from 27 to 30 June 1989 and
highlighted some of the key issues discussed by the Bureau. She drew the
attention of the Committee to improvements on the status of conservation of
two natural properties inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger,
namely Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania) and Garamba National Park
(Zaire) and the threats faced by another natural property, i.e. Mana Pools,
Sapi *[3] and Chewore Reserves (Zimbabwe), due to proposed oil exploration
programmes. She informed the Committee that the Australian authorities had
requested that the representative of IUCN be an expert witness in a national
legal proceeding regarding the conservation of the Wet Tropics of Queensland.
She emphasized the Bureau's concern on implicating the Committee in a national
legal proceeding: if IUCN decided to give such advice, the Bureau had wished
to affirm that such advice should not be interpreted as a mandate from the
Committee to justify the inscription of the site on the World Heritage List.
10. The Rapporteur, furthermore, informed the Committee that the Bureau had
approved funds for three regional or sub-regional training courses on natural
heritage conservation in Qatar, Senegal and Tanzania. The Bureau had deferred
its decision on a request for the purchase of equipment for the Olduvai Gorge
in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania) pending clarification by ICOMOS
and the Secretariat on the relevance of the cultural significance of the
Olduvai Gorge to inscribe this natural property on the World Heritage List.
Finally, Ms. Miltiadou informed the members of the Committee that the Bureau
had examined a total of 25 nominations of which it had recommended that 7
sites be inscribed, one be extended, 9 be not inscribed and 8 others be
deferred.
VII. EQUITABLE REPRESENTATION OF DIFFERENT REGIONS AND CULTURES OF
THE WORLD
11. While examining agenda item 4, the Committee took note of the conclusions
of the 7th General Assembly of States Parties to the Convention on this
question. The Committee welcomed the content of the resolution adopted by the
General Assembly which reflected its wish to ensure both a better turnover of
Committee members and equitable representation of the different regions and
cultures of the world.
12. In accordance with the conclusions of the Bureau at its 13th session and
taking account of the above-mentioned resolution, the Committee decided to
allocate under the 1990 budget a sum of $20,000 to cover the costs of the
participation at the Bureau and Committee sessions of specialists in cultural
and natural heritage conservation representing the States Members of the
Committee which appear on the United Nations List of Least Developed Countries
(LDCs). For 1990, this measure would apply to two States Members of the
Committee: the United Republic of Tanzania and Yemen Arab Republic.
13. In the discussions on this question, the Committee stressed the fact that
such an allocation should be given exclusively for national experts or
managers of sites inscribed on the World Heritage List.
14. Having being mandated by the Committee, the Bureau considered that it
would be difficult to apply rigid mechanisms for the election of Committee
members so as to ensure an appropriate balance between an equitable
representation of the geographical regions and of the cultural areas. The
Bureau, in addition, requested the Secretariat to submit proposals for
guidelines at its next session which the Committee could submit for
consideration to the General Assembly for the next elections.
VIII. MONITORING OF THE STATE OF CONSERVATION OF NATURAL WORLD
HERITAGE PROPERTIES
15. IUCN presented a copy of a draft directory of natural World Heritage sites
inscribed to the end of 1988 prepared by the Protected Areas Data Unit (PADU)
of the World Conservation Monitoring Centre (WCMC). This directory provided
the most up-to-date data available for these sites. In June 1989, States
Parties with sites inscribed before 1986 had been asked by IUCN to update the
data sheets, but responses had to date been received from only 7 of the 28
countries concerned, covering 19 out of 63 sites. The Committee requested IUCN
to follow-up with the States Parties whose responses were still awaited. The
Committee suggested that a deadline of 1 March 1990 be fixed in order that
PADU could make the information available to IUCN for the Bureau at its 14th
session.
*[4]
16. The Committee heard IUCN's report on the status of conservation of the
following thirteen natural properties:
a) Tai National Park (Côte d'Ivoire)
The Committee noted an earlier request that the Ivoirian authorities agree to
this site's inscription on the List of World Heritage in Danger had brought
no response. However, the Committee noted that only recently had the
Secretariat received a response in the form of a request for preparatory
assistance. This preparatory assistance could take the form of a workshop to
evaluate the situation and revise a draft of an integrated project to
safeguard this site, to be financed jointly by the World Heritage Fund
(technical cooperation) and extra-budgetary resources. The Committee
encouraged the Secretariat and IUCN to follow-up this matter and report back
to the Bureau at its next session.
b) Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve (Honduras)
The Committee noted IUCN's concerns about the integrity of this site and asked
that IUCN provide further information when the report from the national
conservation authority is received.
c) Niokolo-Koba National Park (Senegal)
The Committee recalled that there was a project to construct a major highway
across the Park which would greatly jeopardize its natural values, and that
the Bureau had expressed its preference for an alternative route outside the
Park. On 1 August 1989, in accordance with the Bureau's recommendation, the
Director-General of Unesco had written to the President of Senegal, His
Excellency A. Diouf, informing him of the Bureau's preference for the
alternative route. The Secretariat indicated to the Committee that, at a
meeting held in Dakar on 14 November 1989, the Senegalese authorities had
nevertheless stated their intention to proceed with the construction of the
highway across the park.
The World Bank had advised the Secretariat of its involvement in this project
with associated bodies, through the preparation of a proposed programme for
a Transport Sector Credit of which this project was part. The Bank had
concluded, on the basis of the documents provided by Senegal, that the
alternative route outside the park had not been sufficiently assessed. The
Committee agreed with the Bank's proposal to carry out a more detailed study
of the alternative route, which is presently being examined under a Bank
appraisal mission in the field.
The Committee requested the Secretariat to contact the Senegalese authorities
to recall their responsibility in maintaining the integrity of this World
Heritage site, stressing that the Committee offered its full co-operation in
seeking a satisfactory solution to this issue which would safeguard the
natural World Heritage values. The Committee also requested the Secretariat
to contact the World Bank to inform it of the Committee's views.
d) Mana Pools, Sapi and Chewore Reserves (Zimbabwe)
The Committee noted with satisfaction the incorporation of environmental
safeguards into the agreement signed on 4 December 1989 between the Government
of Zimbabwe and Mobil Oil relating to oil exploration in this site. The
Committee decided to commend Zimbabwe on the action taken and to urge that it
monitor the effects of the exploration closely. The Committee requested the
Zimbabwean authorities to inform the Secretariat in the event that oil
extraction might proceed later as this could significantly affect the site's
integrity.
e) Ichkeul National Park (Tunisia)
The Committee decided to encourage Tunisia in its efforts to seek financial
resources to undertake activities such as the building of the Tindja sluice
and two other drainage canals to ensure maintenance of the integrity of the
wetlands critical to the values of this site. At the same time, the Committee
agreed that the Tunisian authorities should be congratulated on improvements
to the site's management consequent on completion of the visitors' centre,
institution of controls on cattle grazing and additional staffing.
*[5]
f) Sangay National Park (Ecuador)
The Committee noted that the Bureau had requested the Secretariat to contact
the Ecuadorian authorities over possible excision of land from the park and
to propose a request for technical cooperation to support a revised management
plan. The Committee decided to ask the Secretariat to continue its efforts in
these directions.
g) Manu National Park (Peru)
The Committee noted that the possibility still existed for future oil and gas
exploration which could prejudice the integrity of this site.
h) Mount Nimba (Côte d'Ivoire/Guinea)
The Committee noted the decision of the World Bank not to provide funds to
Guinea for proposed iron-ore mining which would prejudice this site. It noted
that this decision was made on economic grounds. The Committee requested the
Secretariat to contact the authorities of the Côte d'Ivoire and Guinea on this
matter to encourage them to take the concerns of the Committee into
consideration and preserve the integrity of the site.
i) Manas Wildlife Sanctuary (India)
IUCN reported on the invasion of this site in February 1989 by the Bodo
tribespeople. IUCN reported that it had been consulting with the Indian
authorities, and it had been informed that measures were being taken to
resolve this problem. The Committee decided to ask the Secretariat to follow
up the situation with the Indian authorities.
j) Yellowstone National Park (USA)
The Committee noted with appreciation the availability to other States Parties
of the fire management review and the fire recovery plan obtainable from the
Director of the U.S. National Park Service.
k) Wood Buffalo National Park (Canada)
The Committee noted the report of IUCN and the clarification made by the
Canadian delegation on the environmental assessment now proceeding into
disease in the park's hybrid buffalo herd and the external threat which may
result from proposed industrial development upstream from the park. The
Committee noted the commitment of the Canadian delegation to maintain the
site's integrity and asked that IUCN continue to contact the Canadian
authorities and report back to the Bureau at its next session.
l) Fiordland National Park (New Zealand)
The Committee noted developments in relation to possible ownership changes to
the hydro-electric scheme existing in this site when it was inscribed. The
Committee decided to commend New Zealand on its initiative to give statutory
authority to the independent "Guardians" group in its efforts to ensure that
any changes in ownership of electricity generation in the park will not
threaten its integrity as a World Heritage site.
m) Everglades National Park (USA)
The representative of IUCN informed the Committee of a law suit that had been
brought to bear against offenders to the integrity of this site. In addition,
the representative of the U.S. informed the Committee of additional efforts
to protect this site, notably the allocation by the U.S. Government of US$32
million to purchase over 43,000 ha of wetlands next to the Park which would
help mitigate some of the problems related to the quality and quantity of
freshwater entering the park. The Committee wished to commend the U.S.
authorities for this initiative and for its commitment to maintain the park's
integrity.
17. As concerns the Wet Tropics of Queensland, (Australia) the representative
of IUCN informed the Committee that the Director-General of IUCN, after
hearing the Bureau's concern regarding the participation of an IUCN expert as
a witness in a national legal proceeding involving the conservation of a World
Heritage site, had informed the Australian authorities that it would not be
appropriate for IUCN to appear in the proceedings of a court case in a State
Party. The observer of Australia then informed the Committee that following
the recent elections in Queensland and the change in the State authority that
had followed, *[6] the State Government of Queensland had abandoned its
opposition to the World Heritage listing of the Wet Tropics of Queensland and
hence the need for an expert witness no longer prevailed.
IX. MONITORING OF THE STATE OF CONSERVATION OF CULTURAL WORLD
HERITAGE PROPERTIES
18. At its 12th session, the Committee had decided that the results of the
second phase of the system of monitoring the state of conservation of cultural
properties would be presented at its 14th session in 1990. The Committee at
its present session, however, took note of the very low number of replies to
the questionnaires reported by the Secretariat. It considered that the system
underway was both cumbersome and not fully satisfactory, especially in
comparison to the system for monitoring natural sites, and that the system did
not enable the Committee to assume this important function efficiently. It was
suggested that the role given to ICOMOS and ICCROM be reviewed, and more use
be made of non-governmental organizations specialized in cultural heritage
conservation, not forgetting to use the structures which already exist in the
field, as well as the expertise of the members of the Secretariat.
19. The Committee noted that following an earthquake at Tipasa in Algeria, a
preliminary mission by a member of the Secretariat had been completed which
reported that some damage had occurred. An emergency assistance request had
been submitted to the Secretariat which is continuing to cooperate with the
managers of the property.
20. The Committee was also informed of the collapse of the roof of one of the
temples in Patan in the Valley of Kathmandu. Emergency assistance had been
immediately granted to the Nepalese authorities concerned.
21. The delegate from Canada informed the Committee of his concern in learning
of the tree felling which had taken place last winter in the Park of
Versailles, which, together with the Chateau, is inscribed on the World
Heritage List. He drew the Committee's attention to the danger of separating
the responsibilities for cultural and natural resource management in the case
of a property where a balance between architecture and the surrounding
landscapes is essential. ICOMOS shared these concerns and considered that a
tree regeneration plan inappropriate to a protected historical park risked
destroying one of the most important features characteristic of Versailles
over the last hundred years.
22. The same delegate informed the Committee of his concern over the
announcement of a universal exhibition in Venice. The fragile structures and
the limited space of this town, inscribed together with its lagoon on the
World Heritage List in 1987, made Venice extremely vulnerable to the effects
of mass events. The Secretariat informed the Committee that the
Director-General had already written to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Italy requesting more details on this project. The Committee decided to launch
the following appeal:
The World Heritage Committee, meeting for its 13th session at Unesco
headquarters in Paris from 11 to 15 December 1989, expressed its grave
concern about the new threats to Venice which is inscribed on the World
Heritage List. A universal exhibition, which would attract several
hundreds of thousands of visitors in addition to the usual surge of
tourists, risks threatening the integrity of this heritage which is
unique in the history, art and civilization of humanity. The World
Heritage Committee calls upon the Italian authorities so that
irreparable damage can be avoided.
X. REVISION OF NOMINATION FORMS AND FORMS FOR REQUESTING
INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE
23.The Committee recalled that the revised versions of forms for nominating
sites for inscription on the World Heritage List and for requesting
international assistance from the World Heritage Fund had been prepared in
accordance with the Operational Guidelines and *[7] had been already examined
by the Bureau at its 13th session. The Bureau members had since then provided
comments which were incorporated in the documents submitted to the Committee.
The Committee adopted these revised documents in principle, requesting the
Committee members to send any additional suggestions they may have to the
Secretariat in writing so that the forms could be finalized and used for
implementing the Convention during 1990.
XI. PROMOTIONAL ACTIVITIES
24. The Committee congratulated the Secretariat on the several activities
undertaken in 1989 presented in document SC/89/CONF.004/6 which, in
particular, concentrated on the production and diffusion of general
information material and the preparation of photographic exhibits, films and
publications. As regards activities related to tourism, it was recalled that
over-visitation by tourists could endanger certain sites and that adequate
information was needed to minimize this risk.
25. The Committee approved the proposals presented by the Secretariat for
1990. In respect of the production of information material, the Committee
expressed the wish that the production and sale of video-cassettes presenting
World Heritage sites be envisaged. A study on the possibilities of the
production of such cassettes and their commercialization, through private
networks, will be carried out by the Secretariat in co-operation with the
Office of Public Information (OPI) of Unesco and the results will be presented
to the Bureau at its next session. In the event that it is possible to
distribute these cassettes, the network of museums will, to the extent
possible, be requested to contribute to their distribution.
26. Several members of the Committee were of the opinion that the question of
the publication of a specific newsletter for the Convention needed a detailed
study. The Secretariat will submit a proposal to the Bureau at its next
session. The Committee considered that the diffusion of information on World
Heritage sites, their state of conservation and the implementation of the
Convention in general, must be further encouraged in existing journals,
particularly the Unesco Courier, which has the advantage of being published
in 35 languages and distributed all over the world.
27. The Committee underlined the importance of promoting the Convention also
within countries which were not yet States Parties and reach authorities
responsible for the protection of cultural and natural properties in those
countries.
28. The Committee, as at previous sessions, underlined the need to
decentralize promotional activities using already existing means, such as
regional organizations, international or national non-governmental
organizations, Unesco Clubs, Unesco National Commissions or national
structures which should be set up for the implementation of the Convention.
In order to make progress in this regard the Committee requested the States
Parties to provide a list of such national channels to the Secretariat and
stressed the importance of creating the national structures mentioned above.
29. With regard to the regional organizations, the Chairman informed the
Committee that he had taken the initiative of presenting the document prepared
by the Secretariat to ALECSO and requested that all possible assistance be
provided for the promotion of the Convention in Arab countries.
30. The need to identify the target groups for information and promotion
activities was stressed: in the first place one target group was the persons
directly concerned with safeguarding World Heritage properties, notably
voluntary conservation organizations working in the field; a second group
comprised visitors and tourists; and a third group the people actually living
within the World Heritage site. Specific activities should be designed and
undertaken according to each of these target groups. The Committee also
recommended that other networks, including commercial networks, be explored
to develop these information and promotion activities.
*[8]
31. The Committee took an overview of the prospect for commemorating the
twentieth anniversary of the adoption of the Convention by Unesco. On the one
hand, the Committee wished to undertake an assessment of the application of
the Convention and develop an outline for a special session of the Committee
and, on the other hand, encourage the organization of events in a number of
States Parties. Several preliminary suggestions, such as the production of a
large exhibit on the application of the Convention and the World Heritage
sites were made. The Committee invited States Parties to provide the
Secretariat with high quality photographic material along with the rights for
utilization, in order that the Secretariat could prepare this type of exhibit.
The Committee suggested that a small working group be set up as from 1990 to
assist the Secretariat in assuming the responsibilities for preparing for this
commemorative event and it decided that the Secretariat should submit more
precise proposals in this regard to the Bureau at its next session.
32. The Committee welcomed the announcement by the Delegation of Canada of the
organization of an international colloquium on World Heritage Towns which
would take place in Quebec from 30 June to 4 July 1991. The representatives
of the Province and Town of Quebec responsible for the organization of the
colloquIum, provided more details on the objectives of the colloquium for
municipal officials and conservation experts and which would aim at promoting
exchanges of experience in this field and at defining strategies for the
management of urban heritage.
XII. SITUATION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE FUND AND BUDGET FOR 1990
33. The Committee examined document SC-89/CONF.004/8 presenting the status of
contributions to the World Heritage Fund for the years 1981-83, 1984-85,
1986-87 and 1988- 89, the status of implementation of international assistance
projects approved in 1988 and 1989, as well as a statement on the use of the
budget approved by the Committee at its 12th session for 1989.
34. The Committee noted that there continued to be certain delays in the
payment of obligatory and voluntary contributions and encouraged the
Secretariat to continue its efforts to obtain the outstanding payments, which
were usually for very modest amounts for each State Party. In this respect,
the Committee recalled Article 16(5) of the Convention whereby "States Parties
which are in arrears with their payments for a given year and the calendar
year immediately preceding it shall not be eligible for elections to the
Committee in that yearn. This mechanism had served in general as a stimulus
for timely and full payments. The Committee decided that henceforth, this
principle should apply to States Parties requesting international assistance
under the World Heritage Fund: States Parties in arrears with their voluntary
or obligatory payments for the biennium in question would not be in a position
to obtain international assistance under the Fund, except in exceptional or
emergency instances. The Committee requested the Secretariat to modify the
Operational Guidelines to reflect this decision.
35. The Committee furthermore considered that States Parties having opted for
making voluntary contributions under Article 16(2) of the Convention, should
re-consider their position in order to make obligatory contributions.
36. The Committee took note as at 1 December 1989, the cash-in-hand available
in the World Heritage Fund amounted to approximately $2.5 million. The
Committee decided to base the 1990 budget on this amount such that outstanding
contributions received during the year would add to the "Reserve" put aside
to ensure a certain financial security and to accrue interest.
37. The Committee followed the recommendations of the Bureau which had met
previously to discuss this matter and decided to adopt the following budget
for 1990, which included an allocation to enable experts from the Least
Developed Countries (LDCs) which are States Members of the Committee to
participate at sessions of the Committee and the Bureau:

XIII. REQUESTS FOR INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE
38. The Committee noted that the Bureau had examined in detail the requests
for international assistance presented in document SC-89/CONF.004/10. The
Committee also took into consideration that the Bureau had incorporated
additional information received by the Secretariat since the preparation of
this document into its evaluations.
39. In accordance with the procedures for granting international assistance
set out in the Operational Guidelines adopted by the Committee in December
1988, the Committee approved the following requests:
$US
A. Technical Cooperation
1. Galapagos National Park (Ecuador) 59,500

5. Wieliczka Salt Mine (Poland)
. Urgent work for consolidating the foundation 45,000
and the protection of the site
The Committee noted that during a mission in May
1989 by American experts, commissioned by President
Bush, with a view to preserving the site of Cracow, an
evaluation had been conducted at the same time on the
Wieliczka Salt Mine. A project had been developed to
address the serious humidity problem. A copy of the
project had been submitted to the Secretariat.

cooperation and requested that the States Parties revise their
proposals providing additional information:
1. Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania)
2. Studenica Monastery (Yugoslavia)
XIV. THE GLOBAL STUDY AND THEMATIC STUDIES
40. The Committee welcomed the proposals of ICOMOS and the Secretariat
concerning the global study. In presenting his proposal, the representative
of ICOMOS emphasized in particular the need to highlight the changes which had
occurred in the world and in approaches to culture in the last twenty years.
New tendencies were appearing, especially as concerns the relationships of man
to his environment, and new themes were emerging such as anthropised
landscapes or vernacular architecture. It was noted that the proposals made
by the Secretariat should also be taken into account in elaborating the
outline for the global study. The Committee approved the draft study as
presented and asked the Secretariat to coordinate the work in close
collaboration with ICOMOS and ICCROM. The results of the first phase
consisting of the elaboration of a thematic framework should be presented to
the Bureau at its 14th session for advice on follow up measures.
*[11]
41. The question of thematic studies was again raised, several delegates
having pointed out the interdependence of these studies and the global study.
The work undertaken through these two initiatives could be mutually
reinforcing and could lead to the presentation of an overall policy for
implementing the World Heritage Convention at the special session of the
Committee which will commemorate the twentieth anniversary of its adoption.
In particular, a study on mixed sites and rural landscapes should be
undertaken as a priority, according to several delegates (Canada, France,
Greece, Italy and Mexico) who offered to participate in a working group that
might be created for this purpose. In this respect, the representative of
Italy stressed that in countries of the Old World, natural properties have
always been strongly modified by man and that it was necessary to take this
human presence into account when considering the integrity of these
properties.
42. The Committee took note with satisfaction of a delegate's offer to place
an expert from the archeological service of his country at the disposal of the
Secretariat to help the work of the global study .
43. The Committee took note of document SC-89/CONF.004/INF.4 describing the
progress made in drawing up a global indicative list of geological and fossil
sites which have the potential to meet natural World Heritage criteria (i) and
(ii). The Committee was glad to learn that the Secretariat had contacted
Unesco's International Geological Correlation Programme (IGCP) and the
International Union for the Geological Sciences (IUGS) and had engaged a high
level consultant who had drawn up a preliminary indicative list. This
preliminary list was being circulated to more than 150 experts in the field
of geology around the world and would be finalized by the IGCP and IUGS in
co-operation with IUCN in February 1990. The Committee welcomed the
co-operation of the geological scientists' community in this endeavour and
noted that the global indicative list would be presented to the Bureau at its
14th session.
XV. NOMINATIONS TO THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST AND TO THE LIST OF
WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER
44. The Committee examined 18 nominations of cultural and natural properties
to the World Heritage List. It decided to inscribe seven properties and extend
one property (Section A), to defer the examination of two properties (Section
B), and not to inscribe eight properties (Section C). In addition, the
Committee inscribed one property on the List of World Heritage in Danger and
withdrew another property from this List (Section D).
45. The Committee was informed by the Secretariat that by a letter dated 6
November 1989, the Federal Republic of Germany had withdrawn the nomination
of the Wattenmeer (Mudflats of Lower Saxony). The German authorities had
decided to follow the recommendation of the Bureau of the World Heritage
Committee and prepare a fully documented nomination of the whole Wadden Sea,
to be jointly submitted by Denmark, the Netherlands and the Federal Republic
of Germany. The Committee welcomed this initiative and requested the
Secretariat to follow up this matter, in particular to continue its contacts
with the Dutch authorities to encourage the adherence of the Netherlands to
the Convention.
46. One State Party informed the Committee that the nomination of a cultural
property in his country had been withdrawn.
*[12]
A. Properties inscribed on the World Heritage List
Name of Property Contracting Criteria
State
having submitted
the nomination of
the property in
accordance with
the Convention
Tasmanian Wilderness Australia N(i)(ii)(iii)(iv)
The Committee approved the nomination of the extension to the Western
Tasmanian Wilderness National Parks World Heritage site which corresponded to
an additional area of 604,645 ha, i.e., a 78% increase, thereby serving to
consolidate and greatly enhance the existing World Heritage site. The
Committee noted that there were some small enclaves of publicly-owned land
with World Heritage values currently excluded from the nomination and
expressed the hope that these could be added in the future. The Committee
noted with satisfaction the statement by the Australian observer that
legislation has been passed to revoke all mining rights within the World
Heritage site.
As concerns the cultural values of this extension, the Committee noted that
research on the archaeological sites within the area had only just begun but
seemed to present considerable interest and potential.
The Committee agreed that this property should henceforth be called "Tasmanian
Wilderness".
Archaeological site of Olympia Greece C(i)(ii)(iii)
(iv)(vi)
The Committee requested the Greek authorities to continue to carefully protect
the site and its environment from the impact of increased tourism.
Mystras Greece C(ii)(iii)(iv)
Aware of the incontestable outstanding universal value of Mystras, and taking
into account the strong assurance received from the Greek authorities that
they will not take any action which might compromise the integrity and
authenticity of the site, the Committee decided to inscribe Mystras on the
World Heritage List.
Buddhist Monuments at Sanchi India C(i)(ii)(iii)
(iv)(vi)
Cliff of Bandiagara Mali C(v)
(Land of the Dogons) N(iii)
The Committee took note of the IUCN evaluation of the natural values of this
property, which met natural criterion (iii) concerning "exceptional
combinations of natural and cultural elements". The Committee nevertheless
expressed concern that the condition for integrity of this property was not
fully met and recommended that the Secretariat contact the Malian authorities
to develop a technical cooperation project aiming at avoiding the adverse
impact of tourism on the cultural and natural values and at ameliorating
living conditions within the property.
Banc d'Arguin National Park Mauritania N (ii) (iv)
The Committee decided that this property should be inscribed excluding the Cap
Blanc Satellite Reserve which could only be considered once the boundary
question was resolved and the Côte des Phoques parts could be included. The
Committee recommended that the Mauritanian authorities adopt the
recommendations of the 1989 FAO report on the protective *[13] legislation of
the Park, and that a technical co-operation request be elaborated for an
integrated development project for the local people dependent on the ocean
resources.
Monastery of Alcobaça Portugal C(i)(iv)
Victoria Falls / Mosi-oa-Tunya Zambia/Zimbabwe N(ii)(iii)
The Committee commended the Governments of Zambia and Zimbabwe for
demonstrating their commitment to co-operate in management of the site through
the joint nomination. The Committee agreed to the joint inscription of the
property on the basis that both Zambia and Zimbabwe had already agreed to
reduce the limits of the nominated property to include only the Victoria Falls
National Park, the northern half of Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park and a small
portion of the riverine strip of Zambezi National Park in order to better
concentrate on core features of the Falls area and the downstream gorges.
The Committee requested the Secretariat to encourage Zambia and Zimbabwe to
continue to consult together on this matter in cooperation with IUCN to reach
agreement on final boundaries. The Committee requested Zambia and Zimbabwe to
report back to the Committee on this matter at the next session of the Bureau
in June 1990.
B. DEFERRED NOMINATIONS
Monastery of Poblet Spain
The Committee decided to defer its decision on this property while awaiting
the assurance that the protective boundaries be enlarged to encompass the
outer wall of the monastery and that all of the nominated area be given
adequate protection.
The Committee took note of the intervention of the Spanish delegate informing
it that the Catalan authorities were currently preparing a decree aiming to
enlarge the protective boundaries of this property and that, in liaison with
the Ministry of Culture of Spain, they were going to follow a conservation
policy which would respect the original forms and materials.
The Committee was glad to note that, therefore, it would be able to inscribe
this eminent property on the World Heritage List in the near future.
Tongariro National Park New Zealand
The Committee recalled that the inscription of this property had been deferred
by the Bureau until a revised management plan was available. The Committee was
informed by the representative of IUCN that the new management plan for this
park had recently been completed and was awaiting approval. The Committee
expressed the wish that this nomination could be examined again in 1990.
*[14]
C. PROPERTIES NOT INSCRIBED ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST
Gerona Spain
Monastery of Sant Pere de Rodes "
Collegiate Church of Sant Vicenç "
de Cardona
Ubeda and Baeza "
Town of Taal Philippines
Town of Vigan "
Historic Centre of "
Manila Intramuros
The Committee suggested that the Philippine authorities contact ICOMOS and the
Secretariat so as to study the possibility of elaborating a new nomination
made up of particularly significant elements of the very special heritage of
the Philippines.
Navan Fort United Kingdom
D. THE LIST OF WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER
Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Tanzania)
The Committee was glad to learn of improvements in the management and
protection of this site, due in part to the support from the World Heritage
Fund, since it was inscribed on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 1983.
The Committee decided to comply with the request from the Tanzanian
authorities to remove this property from the List of World Heritage in Danger.
Wieliczka Salt Mine Poland
In accordance with the wishes of the Polish authorities, the Committee decided
to inscribe the Salt Mine of Wieliczka on the List of World Heritage in
Danger.
Garamba National Park Zaire
The representative of Zaire thanked the Committee for its continued support
for improving the protection and management of this site, which was inscribed
on the List of World Heritage in Danger in 1984 due to the alarming reduction
in the northern white rhinoceros population. The joint project by the
Frankfurt Zoological Society, WWF and the World Heritage Committee had
resulted in a promising recovery of these animals. The Committee accordingly
recommended that the Zairois authorities should formally request the removal
of this site from the List of World Heritage in Danger in 1990.
47. The Committee noted the intention of the Greek authorities to organize as
soon as possible in Greece an international colloquium of experts to examine
the conservation projects for the monuments in Mystras and that they would not
undertake any restoration work on the site until the publication of the
proceedings of the colloquium.
*[15]
XVI. OTHER BUSINESS
48. The Committee welcomed the intention of ICCROM and ICOMOS to jointly
organize in 1990 an international colloquium on the theme "Restoration methods
for ruins and archaeological ensembles".
XVII. ADMISSION OF ADDITIONAL OBSERVERS
49. The Committee was informed that the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) had
requested that it be invited to attend the sessions of the Committee as an
observer in accordance with Article 8.2 of the Rules of Procedure of the
Committee. The Secretariat indicated that it was working in close
collaboration with WWF, which each year contributed between $1.5 and $2
million to the conservation of natural World Heritage properties. The
Committee decided that WWF would henceforth be invited as an observer to the
Committee sessions.
XVIII. DATE AND PLACE OF THE 14TH SESSION OF THE COMMITTEE
50. The Committee was informed that by letter dated 7 November 1989, the
Canadian authorities had formally invited the Committee to hold its 14th
session in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rocky Mountains Parks and World
Heritage site. The representative of Canada reiterated this invitation and
gave a slide presentation on Banff National Park. The Committee gratefully
accepted this invitation and decided that it would meet for its 1 4th session
from 26 to 30 November 1990.
51. The Committee also decided that the Bureau should meet for its 14th
session at Unesco Headquarters from 11 to 14 June 1990.
XIX. CLOSURE OF THE MEETING
52. The representative of Canada thanked the Chairman on behalf of the rest
of the Committee for his able chairmanship during the session. Mr. von Droste
noted that with the seven new inscriptions during this session, there were now
322 properties on the World Heritage List. The Chairman, Mr. Beschaouch,
thanked all concerned for having contributed to an interesting and successful
session and closed the meeting.
