WORLD HERITAGE TAG

A World Heritage Site is a location with an “outstanding universal value”.

This signifies “cultural and/or natural significance which is exceptional as to transcend national boundaries and to be of common
importance for present and future generations of all humanity”.

These sites are nominated by UNESCO as embodied in an international treaty called the ‘Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage’ adopted in 1972.

Nomination process:

Tentative List: It is the first step a country must take by making an ‘inventory' of its important natural
and cultural heritage sites located within its boundaries.

The Nomination File: After UNESCO includes a property in the Tentative List, that country has to
prepare a nomination document with necessary documentation and maps. This is sent for evaluation
to the advisory bodies.

Final Inscription: Once a site has been nominated and evaluated, it is up to the World Heritage
Committee to make the final decision on its inscription on the World Heritage Lists.
