About the forum

At a time where the World Heritage List includes over 1.000 properties and a global territory of over 276 million hectares under protection, greater comprehension of the World Heritage decision-making process among site-managers becomes crucial for more effective protection of Outstanding Universal Value (OUV). It allows the Convention to fulfil its potential as a tool and catalyst for World Heritage protection and heritage protection in general. At the same time, future improvements to the World Heritage decision-making procedures must build on and respond to greater engagement of those dealing with World Heritage on a day-to-day basis. The Forum is designed for participants selected from World Heritage sites for which a State of Conservation (SOC) report has been prepared and presented for decision making at the 41st session of the World Heritage Committee. Participants should be able to demonstrate their involvement in on-going management activities of World Heritage properties that they represent. Applications will be called through the Permanent Delegations to UNESCO, and the States Parties will be requested to submit up to three applications. Participants, preferably one per State Party, will be finally selected by the Host Country, in consultation with Advisory Bodies and the World Heritage Centre.
