Feasibility study on an additional ordinary session of the World Heritage Committee

WHC-15/39.COM/13B

By its Decision 36 COM 12B, the Committee decided to assess the feasibility of an ordinary session in October/November 2013, at its 37th session (June/July 2013).

By Decision 37 COM 18B, the Committee, considering the costs inherent to the holding of an additional ordinary session and the financial situation faced by UNESCO, decided not to hold an additional ordinary session in October/November 2013. By the same Decision, the Committee requested the World Heritage Centre to re-assess the eventual possibility of holding an additional ordinary session in 2015 and to present a report on this issue at its 39th session in 2015.

This document is presented pursuant to Decision 37 COM 18B.
