World Heritage: Testimonies to Our Humanity Año de publicación: 2022 Autor corporativo: UNESCO The Convention for the Protection of the Cultural and Natural Heritage is an international agreement based on the principle that some places on Earth embody outstanding universal value that should be part of the shared heritage of humankind. UNESCO recognizes cultural and natural sites of outstanding universal value, and protects them for the benefit of all. As a basis for mutual understanding and dialogue, the responsibility for protecting our shared heritage requires cooperation among all States Parties as well as civil society, local communities and the private sector. The idea of reconciling the conservation of cultural sites with that of natural sites originated in the United States of America. A White House conference in Washington, D.C., in 1965 called for the creation of a “World Heritage Foundation” that would stimulate international cooperation to protect “the most extraordinary places, landscapes, and historic sites for the present and future of all mankind.” In 1968, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) made similar proposals to its members. These proposals were presented at the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment in Stockholm in 1972. Eventually, all parties concerned agreed on a single text. The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage was adopted by the General Conference of UNESCO on 16 November 1972. In recognizing both cultural and natural aspects of heritage, the Convention reminds us of the interaction between human beings and nature and the fundamental need to preserve the balance between the two.
التراث الثقافيّ المغمور بالمياه في منطقة الدول العربيّة Año de publicación: 2023 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Cairo "التراث الثقافي المغمور بالمياه في المنطقة العربية تعرف منظمة اليونسكو التراث الثقافي المغمور بالمياه بأنه ""جميع آثار الوجود الإنساني ذات الطابع الثقافي أو التاريخي أو الأثري والتي ظلت مغمورة بالمياه جزئيا أو كليا، بشكل دوري أو متواصل، لمدة 100 عام على الأقل"". مثل: أنا. المواقع والهياكل والمباني والمصنوعات اليدوية والرفات البشرية، إلى جانب سياقها الأثري والطبيعي؛ ثانيا. السفن أو الطائرات أو المركبات الأخرى أو أي جزء منها أو حمولتها أو محتوياتها الأخرى، بالإضافة إلى سياقها الأثري والطبيعي؛ وثالثا. كائنات ذات طابع ما قبل التاريخ ""1. يتعلق هذا التعريف في المقام الأول بالعمر والظروف البيئية للرواسب، أي أن البقايا يجب أن تكون موجودة كليًا أو جزئيًا ""تحت الماء"" لمدة 100 عام على الأقل، بغض النظر عن نوعها أو طبيعتها أو ثقافتها التي ينتمون إليها. بمجرد التأكد من هذه العناصر الأساسية، يمكن تعريف المادة الأثرية بشكل أكبر وفقًا لواحد أو أكثر من المعايير المحددة: - التسلسل الزمني - الفترة الزمنية التي يعود تاريخ البقايا إليها؛ - المنطقة – المنطقة الجغرافية التي تم العثور على الرفات فيها؛ - التصنيف - التصنيف المادي للبقايا، على سبيل المثال، الفخار وعظام الحيوانات والحجر وما إلى ذلك. من المهم أن ندرك أنه في حين أن المعايير المذكورة أعلاه ستظل ثابتة، فإن الطبيعة ""تحت الماء"" للبقايا الأثرية عرضة للتغيير، نتيجة للتدخل البشري أو البيئي. على سبيل المثال، العديد من المواقع التي حدث فيها نشاط ما قبل التاريخ على الأرض، وعادةً ما تكون قريبة من الشواطئ القديمة، هي: 1 - اليونسكو. 2001. اتفاقية حماية التراث الثقافي المغمور بالمياه. باريس: وثائق المؤتمر العام، الجلسة الحادية والثلاثون، المادة.التراث الثقافي المغمور بالمياه في منطقة الدول العربية مغمور الآن بسبب ارتفاع منسوب سطح البحر. وبالمثل، فإن أشياء مثل السيوف، التي تم إيداعها في البحيرات أو الأنهار كجزء من طقوس الماضي، كانت تُصنع وتستخدم على الأرض. ولذلك أصبحت هذه المواقع والمصنوعات اليدوية تستوفي تعريف ""التراث الثقافي المغمور بالمياه"". والعملية المعاكسة ممكنة أيضًا: فحطام السفينة، على سبيل المثال، أو بقايا المواد الأخرى التي يتم رفعها من قاع البحر ووضعها في المتحف، ستفقد مكانتها كـ UCH. يخبرنا هذا الفارق الدقيق أن UCH ليس بالضرورة مصطلحًا علميًا ثابتًا. وهي تتعلق بالبيئة تحت الماء التي توجد فيها الثقافة المادية وليس بأي سمة أثرية أو ثقافية متأصلة. هذا لا يعني أن موقع الثقافة المادية تحت الماء ليس مهمًا: على العكس من ذلك، يكشف السياق تحت الماء عن تغييرات في الاستخدام والحالة والمعنى بمرور الوقت. إن التغيرات المادية التي يمكن أن تسببها البيئة تحت الماء، مثل التآكل أو الاضمحلال، والتغيرات الطبيعية والاجتماعية والأيديولوجية التي يمكن أن تعكسها المواقع تحت الماء، هي أجزاء حيوية من تاريخ حياة الموقع أو الكائن. يعد الموقع تحت الماء أيضًا عاملاً رئيسياً في تحديد التقنيات والأساليب العلمية التي يجب استخدامها عند التعامل مع هذا النوع من الثقافة المادية لأغراض الاستكشاف أو البحث أو التوثيق أو التنقيب أو الحفظ أو العرض أو العرض العام. وبالتالي، فإن دراسة UCH عادة ما تتطلب استخدام أدوات وتقنيات تختلف عن تلك المستخدمة في المواقع الأثرية الأرضية. لهذا السبب، كثيرًا ما يتم ذكر التراث تحت الماء بالارتباط مع علم الآثار المغمورة بالمياه، أي الأعمال الأثرية، مثل التنقيب والتسجيل والتحليل، التي تتم في مواقع مغمورة جزئيًا أو كليًا. ويخضع علم الآثار المغمورة بالمياه لنفس المبادئ والمعايير العلمية التي تحكم العمل الأثري على الأرض، ولكنه مصمم خصيصًا ليتناسب مع التحديات المحددة التي تفرضها الظروف تحت الماء. وبالتالي فإن مصطلح ""علم الآثار المغمورة بالمياه"" ليس فرعًا من فروع علم الآثار. بل هو مصطلح تقني يشير إلى مجموعة محددة من الأدوات والتقنيات المستخدمة في إجراء الأعمال الأثرية تحت الماء، ضمن الإطار الأوسع ومبادئ البحث الأثري."
Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Arab States Region Año de publicación: 2023 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Cairo "Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Arab State RegionUnderwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) is defined by UNESCO as “all traces of human existence having a cultural, historical or archaeological character which have been partially or totally under water, periodically or continuously, for at least 100 years such as: i. sites, structures, buildings, artefacts and human remains, together with their archaeological and natural context; ii. vessels, aircraft, other vehicles or any part thereof, their cargo or other contents, together with their archaeological and natural context; and iii. objects of prehistoric character”1.This definition relates primarily to the age and environmental conditions of the deposit, i.e., the remains must have existed fully or partially “underwater” for at least 100 years, regardless of their type, nature, or the culture to which they belong. Once these core elements have been confirmed, the archaeological material can be defined further according to one or more specific criteria: - chronology – the time period the remains date from; - region – the geographical area where the remains were found; - typology – the physical categorisation of the remains, e.g., pottery, animal bone, stone etc.It is important to recognise that while the above criteria will remain constant, the “underwater” nature of the archaeological remains is subject to change, as a result of either human or environmental intervention. For example, many sites where prehistoric activity took place on land, usually close to ancient shorelines, are • 1 - UNESCO. 2001. Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage. Paris: Records of the General Conference, 31st ses-sion, Article.Underwater Cultural Heritage in the Arab State Regionnow submerged due to rising sea levels. Similarly, items such as swords, deposited in lakes or rivers as part of past rituals, were made and used on land. These sites and artefacts have therefore come to meet the definition of “Underwater Cultural Heritage”. The opposite process is also possible: a shipwreck, for example, or other material remains lifted from the seabed and placed in a museum would lose its status as UCH. This nuance tells us that UCH is not necessarily a constant scientific term. It relates to the underwater environment in which the material culture is located rather than any inherent archaeological or cultural attribute2. That is not to say that the material culture’s underwater location is not important: on the contrary, the underwater context reveals changes in use, condition and meaning over time. The physical changes that the underwater environment can cause, such as corrosion or decay, and the natural, social and ideological changes that underwater locations can reflect, therefore, are vital parts of a site or object’s life history. The underwater location is also a key factor in determining which scientific techniques and methods to use when dealing with this type of material culture for purposes of exploration, research, documentation, excavation, conservation, presentation or public display. Thus, the study of UCH usually requires the use of tools and techniques that differ from those employed on terrestrial archaeological sites3. For this reason, UCH is frequently mentioned in association with underwater archaeology, i.e., archaeological work, such as excavation, recording and analysis, that takes place on partially or fully submerged sites. Underwater archaeology is governed by the same scientific principles and standards as archaeological work on land but is tailored to the specific challenges of underwater conditions4. The term “underwater archaeology” is not, therefore, a sub-discipline of archaeology. Instead, it is a technical term referring to a specific set of tools and techniques used in conducting archaeological work underwater, within the wider framework and principles of archaeological research."
UNESCO Guidance for the World Heritage ‘No-Go’ Commitment: Global Standards for Corporate Sustainability Año de publicación: 2022 Autor corporativo: UNESCO UNESCO World Heritage properties are cultural, natural and mixed sites of outstanding universal value (OUV) that exemplify some of humanity’s most exceptional heritage and treasures on our planet. They cover over a thousand properties in all regions of the world and it is the duty of the international community as a whole to cooperate on their protection. UNESCO World Heritage sites provide major benefits to our society and help safeguard ecosystem services and cultural resources vital for human well-being. Yet the threats to UNESCO World Heritage sites have been rising steadily for decades, including those arising from harmful industrial and infrastructure projects, extractive activities such as mining, oil and gas and large hydropower projects, among others. In view of these significant threats, several leading companies and financial institutions have committed to protect World Heritage by respecting them as ‘no-go’ areas. UNESCO World Heritage sites are protected under international law as humanity’s legacy to future generations and, as such, merit particular attention in corporate policies and business conduct. However, there is wide variation in the nature and strength of sustainability policies and due diligence processes. This guidance was developed to assist companies to develop comprehensive strategies for World Heritage as part of their efforts to measure and manage environmental, social and governance risks.
Orientations de l’UNESCO relatives à l’engagement de respecter les sites du patrimoine mondial en tant que zones d’exclusion : recommandations mondiales pour le développement durable des entreprises Año de publicación: 2022 Autor corporativo: UNESCO Les biens du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO sont des sites culturels, naturels et mixtes d’une valeur universelle exceptionnelle (VUE) qui sont représentatifs du patrimoine et des trésors les plus exceptionnels de l’humanité sur notre planète. Ils recouvrent plus d’un millier de biens dans toutes les régions du monde et il incombe à la communauté internationale toute entière de coopérer pour en assurer la protection. Les sites du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO apportent de nombreux bénéfices à notre société et aident à préserver les services écosystémiques et les ressources culturelles indispensables au bien-être humain. Pourtant, les menaces qui pèsent sur les sites du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO n’ont cessé d’augmenter depuis des décennies, notamment celles qui découlent de projets industriels et d’infrastructures néfastes, d’activités extractives telles que l’exploitation minière, pétrolière et gazière, et de grands projets hydroélectriques, entre autres. Au vu de ces menaces importantes, plusieurs grandes entreprises et institutions financières se sont engagées à protéger le patrimoine mondial en respectant le principe de zones d’exclusion (« no-go areas »). Les sites du patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO sont protégés par le droit international en tant que legs de l’humanité aux générations futures et, à ce titre, ils méritent qu’une attention particulière leur soit octroyée par les entreprises dans leurs politiques et leur conduite. Cependant, la nature et le poids des politiques de durabilité et des procédures de diligence raisonnable varient considérablement. Les présentes orientations ont été conçues pour aider les entreprises à élaborer des stratégies globales relatives au patrimoine mondial dans le cadre de leurs efforts pour mesurer et gérer les risques environnementaux, sociaux et de gouvernance.
教科文组织 世界遗产 “禁入”承诺指南: 企业可持续性全球标准 Año de publicación: 2022 Autor corporativo: UNESCO 教科文组织世界遗产地是具有突出普遍价值的文化、自然和混合遗产地,体现出人类在地球上最杰出的一些遗产和珍宝。它们涵盖世界各个地区的一千多处遗产,整个国际社会都有责任合作保护这些遗产。世界遗产地给我们的社会带来了巨大惠益,有助于保护对人类福祉至关重要的生态系统服务和文化资源。 然而,几十年来,世界遗产面临的威胁逐渐增加,包括有害的工业和基础设施项目、采矿和油气开采等采掘活动以及大型水电项目等造成的威胁。鉴于这些重大威胁,一些龙头企业和金融机构已承诺保护世界遗产,将其作为“禁入”区域加以尊重。 世界遗产地作为人类留给后代的遗产,受到国际法律保护,因此在企业政策和商业行为中值得特别关注。然而,在可持续性政策和尽职调查程序的性质和力度方面存在着很大差异。制定本指南,旨在协助企业制定全面的世界遗产战略,作为衡量和管理环境、社会和治理风险工作的一部分。
Managing Transnational UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Africa Año de publicación: 2023 Autor: Dodé Houehounha | Edmond Moukala Autor corporativo: UNESCO Transnational UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Africa – Cooperation is the Key to Success Transnational UNESCO World Heritage sites are the ultimate manifestation of international cooperation − an enriching experience of interculturalism and dialogue between peoples. They offer a unique opportunity to explore and exchange effective and sustainable solutions to contemporary issues, such as climate change, migration, integration, confict and many others. For the frst time, this publication presents the most up-to-date and comprehensive work concerning Transnational UNESCO World Heritage sites in Africa, refecting the interdisciplinary and forward-looking approaches that have dominated research and conservation methodologies in recent decades. The diverse articles and case studies shine a light on how transnational management of properties in Africa provides a crosscutting and sustainable response to contemporary issues related to heritage and associated communities. It also explores the variety of challenges and opportunities related to the management of these sites and highlights best practices that have been implemented. This publication, together with UNESCO, calls on all States Parties to the World Heritage Convention, concerned international and regional organizations, and all relevant stakeholders to support efforts to protect and promote Africa’s rich cultural and natural heritage. It is through concerted action and joint activities that the recommendations from this publication can be implemented and thereby help preserve these properties for future generations.
Enhancing our heritage toolkit 2.0: assessing management effectiveness of World Heritage properties and other heritage places Año de publicación: 2023 Autor corporativo: UNESCO | International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) | International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) | International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) <Short summary>EoH 2.0 toolkit helps assess management effectiveness in World Heritage places World Heritage properties are internationally recognized as places of Outstanding Universal Value that should benefit from the highest level of management effectiveness. Despite the best efforts to conserve these places for present and future generations, many are under threat from a range of factors. These include inappropriate development, mass tourism, pollution, resource extraction or climate change, to name but a few.What can be done to better respond to factors negatively affecting World Heritage places? Do management processes influence conservation results? If so, how can critical management weaknesses be identified and improved?The Enhancing Our Heritage Toolkit 2.0 offers a self-assessment methodology to evaluate management effectiveness in a World Heritage property or other heritage place. It contains 12 tools that can be used separately or collectively to understand in detail what is working well and what can be done better. To facilitate their use, the tools are accompanied by worksheets, in the form of either a template to help compile information in a systematic way or a questionnaire, both of which can be adapted to the specific needs of each heritage place.The Toolkit supports managers in identifying ways to improve conservation practices, management processes and resource allocation – particularly if used before reviewing or updating management plans. While there is a focus on World Heritage, it can be applied to all heritage places, whether natural, cultural or combinations of both.
