General Assembly of State Parties to the World Heritage Convention

The General Assembly includes all States Parties to the Convention and meets once every two years during the ordinary session of the General Conference of UNESCO to elect the members of the World Heritage Committee. During its session, the Assembly determines contributions to the World Heritage Fund applicable to all States Parties and elects new members to the World Heritage Committee to replace the outgoing members. Election information is available on the Election FAQs page. Both the General Assembly and General Conference of UNESCO receive a report from the World Heritage Committee on its activities.
