Committee Decision (Nominations)

Refers to a decision taken by the World Heritage Committee on whether a site should be inscribed on the World Heritage List.

Once a site has been nominated and evaluated, it is up to the intergovernmental World Heritage Committee to make the final decision on its inscription. Once a year, the Committee meets to decide which sites will be inscribed on the World Heritage List. It can also defer its decision and request further information on sites from the States Parties.
