Justification for inscription

The Justification for inscription is a part of nomination documentation that makes clear why the property is considered to be of “Outstanding Universal Value”. It  is comprised of  more detailed information to support the text of the proposed Statement of Outstanding Universal Value; the World Heritage criteria under which the property is proposed together with a clearly stated argument for the use of each criterion, Statements of integrity and (when cultural criteria are proposed) of authenticity demonstrating how the property satisfies the conditions and a comparative analysis of the property in relation to similar properties, whether or not on the World Heritage List, both at the national and international levels.
