Summary of the interventions
Decisions adopted by the Committee in 1990
14 COM IX
SOC: Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve (Honduras)
Rio Platano Biosphere Reserve (Honduras)
The Committee noted that the Honduran authorities had submitted to the Secretariat a nomination of this property to the List of World Heritage in Danger. The Committee was unable to make a decision on this nomination, however, in the absence of any request for international assistance for this property pursuant to article 11.4 of the Convention. The Committee consequently urged the Honduran authorities to prepare and submit such a request as soon as possible.
