World Heritage Tentative Lists

SUMMARY

At its seventeenth session in Cartagena, December 1993, the Committee expressed its concern on the small number of tentative lists that meet the requirements as stipulated in the Operational Guidelines, paragraphs 7 and 8, and confirmed the importance of these lists for planning purposes, comparative analyses of nominations and for facilitating the undertaking of the global and thematic studies. These lists constitute also an inventory of the properties situated within the territory of each State Party, and which it considers suitable for inclusion on the World Heritage List. The Committee also confirmed that the tentative lists are mandatory for cultural properties which the State Party intends to nominate for inscription on the World Heritage List during the coming five to ten years.

Therefore, the Committee invited the States Parties, which had not yet done so, to submit tentative lists in accordance with the Operational Guidelines, with the understanding that "preparatory assistance should be provided if necessary and requested by the State Party concerned". The Committee also decided that "as of 1 October 1995, only nominations of cultural properties that are included in tentative lists which meet all requirements as stipulated in the Operational Guidelines would be processed."

Out of 160 countries which have ratified the Convention, 112 States parties have submitted Tentative Lists in accordance with the criteria specified in the Operational Guidelines.

Individual Tentative Lists received by the World Heritage Centre from these State Parties are attached, in English alphabetical order.
