Decision 45 COM 8B.63
Minor boundary modifications - Fortifications on the Caribbean Side of Panama: Portobelo-San Lorenzo, Panama

The World Heritage Committee,

Having examined Documents WHC/23/45.COM/8B and WHC/23/45.COM/INF.8B1,
Refers the examination of the minor modification to the boundary and the buffer zones of the Fortifications on the Caribbean Side of Panama: Portobelo-San Lorenzo, Panama, back to the State Party in order to allow it to:
1. Clarify the rationale to define the boundaries of the buffer zone in the San Lorenzo Castle, and eventually consider its extension if appropriate,
2. Consider the possibility to adopt the area of the Monumental Historic Ensemble of Portobelo established by Law 91 of 1976 as a single buffer zone that encompasses the component parts located in the area of Portobelo,
3. Elaborate an integral management plan for the serial property that clarifies the protection and management for its component parts and their buffer zones.
