Conservation issues presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2009
At its 31st session, the World Heritage Committee requested the State Party to submit a progress report on the preparation of a management plan for the property to the World Heritage Centre by 1 February 2009, for consideration by the World Heritage Committee at its 33rd session in 2009.
On 12 May 2009, the State Party submitted a state of conservation report. A major portion of this report is dedicated to the conservation work carried out on individual buildings of the property. The report makes no reference to the progress made on the preparation of the management plan requested by the World Heritage Committee.
The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies note the extensive work carried out at different monuments composing the property. They are however concerned about the lack of progress in the finalisation and the adoption of the management plan requested by the World Heritage Committee that would provide a comprehensive framework underpinning decisions about conservation actions, including interventions on individual buildings scattered throughout a large geographical area.
