Tentative Lists of States Parties submitted as of 20 April 2006 in conformity with the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention SUMMARY This document presents the Tentative Lists of all States Parties submitted in conformity with the Operational Guidelines (2005) as of 20 April 2006. The World Heritage Committee is requested to note that all nominations of properties to be examined by the 30th session of the Committee are included in the Tentative Lists of the respective States Parties. • Annex 1 presents a full list of States Parties indicating the date of the most recent Tentative List submission; • Annex 2 presents new Tentative Lists (or additions to Tentative Lists) submitted by States Parties since the last session of the World Heritage Committee; • Annex 3 presents a list of all properties included in Tentative Lists prepared by States Parties, in alphabetical order. Property names are listed in the language in which they have been submitted by the State Party. Draft Decision: 30 COM 8A, see point II I. EXAMINATION OF TENTATIVE LISTS 1. The World Heritage Committee requests each State Party to submit to it an inventory of the cultural and natural properties situated within its territory, which it considers suitable for inscription on the World Heritage List, and which it intends to nominate during the following five to ten years. The purpose of these inventories, also known as Tentative Lists, is to enable the World Heritage Committee to evaluate within the widest possible context the "outstanding universal value" of each property nominated to the List. At its 24th session (Cairns, 2000), the Committee confirmed the importance of these Lists for planning purposes, comparative analyses of nominations and for facilitating the undertaking of the global and thematic studies. It also decided that the Tentative Lists would be mandatory for all properties which the State Party intends to nominate for inscription on the World Heritage List. 2. Furthermore, according to paragraph 65 of the Operational Guidelines (2005), States Parties shall submit Tentative Lists preferably at least one year prior to the submission of any nomination. States Parties are also encouraged to re-examine and re-submit their Tentative List at least every ten years. 3. Therefore, the World Heritage Committee invites the States Parties, which have not yet done so, to submit as early as possible Tentative Lists in accordance with the Operational Guidelines (2005), with the understanding that "preparatory assistance should be provided if necessary and requested by the State Party concerned". 4. It is useful to recall the recommendations concerning Tentative Lists of the Special Expert Meeting on “The Concept of Outstanding Universal Value”, Kazan, Russian Federation, (April 2005) (Document WHC-05/29.COM/9). The Experts recommended that: • States Parties should each establish a coordination mechanism with an interdisciplinary composition to undertake and oversee effectively the implementation of the World Heritage Convention and the preparation and review of Tentative Lists in particular; • Tentative Lists should be seen as part of the effort of conservation of national heritage; • Properties on Tentative Lists should have national and/or other appropriate recognition; • Compilation of Tentative Lists should involve local communities and indigenous peoples and should include public consultation where appropriate; • The compilation of Tentative Lists should take account of the Global Strategy, comparative studies and the Advisory Bodies gap analysis; • The preparation of Tentative Lists should have due regard to other international conventions and programmes; • In preparation of their Tentative Lists, States Parties should be rigorous in their local evaluation to ensure that expectations of inscription match reality; Tentative Lists of States Parties WHC-06/30.COM/8A.Rev, p. 1 • The size of a Tentative List should take into account the Cairns-Suzhou decision (Decision 28 COM 13.1) and the 10 years cycle of the Tentative List recommended by the Operational Guidelines (paragraph 65); • The comparative analysis should be developed by regions and themes; • Regional meetings on harmonization of Tentative Lists should identify types of properties for nomination in a given region, and those for possible inclusion as transnational and transboundary properties; • The Advisory Bodies should complete their thematic studies and initiate and facilitate appropriate regional and comparative studies as soon as possible and in a time scale to allow States Parties to identify categories and themes of heritage that are relevant for completion of all Tentative Lists in 2007 and the revision of existing Tentative Lists; • States Parties with no Tentative Lists should be encouraged to request preparatory International Assistance if necessary for preparing Tentative List; • The Advisory Bodies, within their available resources, should comment on the Tentative Lists of all States Parties upon request; • The World Heritage Centre and the Advisory Bodies should provide a compilation of best practices and publish a number of training manuals; • The World Heritage Centre should prepare a handbook to inform property owners and stakeholders about the process and requirements for inscription on the World Heritage List, and to clarify expectations concerning the benefits and commitments that may result from such an inscription. 5. As of 20 April 2006, of the 182 States Parties which have ratified the Convention, 151 had submitted Tentative Lists in accordance with the requirements specified in the Operational Guidelines (2005), 31 States Parties had not submitted any Tentative List. All the nominations submitted for examination in 2006 (see Document WHC- 06/30.COM/8B) are included on the Tentative Lists of the States concerned. 6. In conformity with the Committee Decision 27 COM 8A, paragraph 4, this document presents the new Tentative Lists and additions to Tentative Lists submitted since the last session of the World Heritage Committee in a separate annex. Since the 29th session of the World Heritage Committee (Durban, 2005), 24 States Parties have submitted new Tentative Lists or modified existing Lists. The number of new properties added to the Tentative Lists is 87. These properties are presented in Annex 2 of this document. 7. In conformity with the Committee Decision 7 EXT.COM 4A, properties already inscribed in the World Heritage List were removed from the Tentative Lists of States Parties. 8. In conformity with the Committee Decision 27 COM 8A, paragraph 5, the complete Tentative Lists of all States Parties are accessible to the public at the following web address of the World Heritage Centre: http://whc.unesco.org/en/tentativelists.

  • Magdalena Sto J an O V a the Cemetery Church of Rožen
    MAGDALENA STO J AN O V A THE CEMETERY CHURCH OF ROŽEN MONASTERY Rožen Monastery is situated on a hill between Rožen and Melnik amidst magnificent mountain scenery. Isolated from busy centres and difficult of access—though rich in natural beauty—this position has proved exceptionally favourable for the monastery’s survival up to the present day. Its architecture indicates a relatively early construction date, around the twelfth or thirteenth century1, but the first written source for Rožen Monastery dates only from 15512. Having studied a great number of Greek documents, the architect Alkiviadis Prepis3 has established that the monastery was originally a de­ pendency with a church dedicated to St George, which was built in the thir­ teenth century by the Byzantine soldier George Contostephanus Calameas and his wife. According to surviving data from the period up until 1351, in 1309 they presented the dependency to the Georgian Iviron Monastery on Mount Athos, and continued to enrich it4. After this area was conquered by 1. On the basis of the construction and the plan, Assen Vassiliev dates the church to about the twelfth century : A Vassiliev, Ktitorski portreti, Sofia 1960, p. 88. George Trajchev opines that the monastery was built in 1217 (Maitastirite v Makedonija, Sofia 1933, pp. 192- 3). The opinion that the church dates from the fourteenth or fifteenth century is shared by Metropolitan Pimen of Nevrokop ('Roženskija manastir’, Tsarkoven vestnic, 17 (1962) 14) and Professor V. Pandurski ('Tsarcovni starini v Melnik, Ročenskija manastir i Sandanski’, Duhovna cultura, 4 (1964) 16-18).

  • The Relevance and Potential of Buddhist Pedagogy in Mauritius
    ================================================================== Language in India www.languageinindia.com ISSN 1930-2940 Vol. 21:8 August 2021 ================================================================ The Relevance and Potential of Buddhist Pedagogy in Mauritius Roshan Boodnah, Ph.D. Scholar Lecturer & Head, Department of Philosophy School of Indological Studies Mahatma Gandhi Institute Mauritius Contact No: +230 57722844 [email protected] ==================================================================== Abstract Mauritius, situated in the Indian Ocean and in the East coast of Africa, is a multi-cultural island, often called as the “rainbow” island. As a vibrant part of the Indian Diaspora, Mauritius shares strong cultural, educational, religious, and economical lineage with India. The triumph of the indentured labourers from India who settled in the island in the mid-18th century is to a great extent attributed to their spirit of tolerance and endurance, set of values, and wisdom that they carried from the Mother land, India. Along with the Rāmacaritamānasa, they also carried along the intangible Buddhist values and ethos that were instrumental in developing their settlements amidst colonial suppression. It is against this backdrop that this paper intends to analyse as to how Buddhist teachings found expression as way of life in a multicultural and multiracial set up. It proposes to survey the teaching and learning of Buddhist Philosophy in the Mauritian Educational Curriculum and to propose the centrality of Buddhist ethics as a strong pillar of Buddhist Pedagogy and Didactics for a sustainable future with disciplined and confident youth. Youth should be inspired to become accomplished in virtue by following the moral guidelines spelled out by the Five Precepts (pañca-śīla) by strong vectors. Therefore, to be able to propagate the ethical teachings of Buddha, educational reforms should be brought in the pre- primary and primary curricula.

The individual area sizes of the inland IBAs range from 184 ha to 92,322 ha (on average 8345 ha), though most of them (56 sites, 88%) are below 15,000 ha. The number of IBAs in different area size groups is shown in Fig. 4-1. In comparison with the previous national IBA inventory (Raèinskis & Stîpniece 2000), the number of the inland IBAs has increased by 10 sites with their total extent increasing two-fold by 274,368 ha. All marine IBAs have remained unmodified, as the application of the BirdLife IBA criteria at sea are still under development. The long-term changes in number of IBAs in Latvia and their relative area size, compared to the country’s land surface, is illustrated in Fig. 4-3.
