The 15th Session of the Executive Committee of the International Campaign for the Establishment of the Nubia Museum in Aswan and the National Museum of Egyptian Civilization (NMEC) in Cairo was held at UNESCO headquarters from 28 to 29 June 2005. 2. The representatives of fifteen countries, elected by the General Conference of UNESCO at its 32nd Session, participated in the meeting. Representatives of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the International Center for the Study of the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (ICCROM) attended the meeting as observers (see Annex 1). 3. On behalf of the Director General, Mounir Bouchenaki welcomed the participants to the opening session of the Executive Committee. He particularly welcomed the Egyptian authorities represented by Dr Zahi Hawass, Vice-Chairman of the Executive Committee, H.E. Ahmed Rifaat, Ambassador of Egypt to UNESCO, Mr Abdel Moneim Director of NMEC and Ms Gihane Zaki, representative of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. He mentioned to be honored to have Dr Vatandoust, as Chairman of the Executive Committee and Mrs A. Zacarias as Rapporteur. Recalling UNESCO’s long lasting involvement in the restoration works throughout the world such as in Cambodia, Jerusalem, Sanaa he stressed that the Egyptian Campaign in Nubia was undoubtedly a reference model to follow. This International Campaign gave the guidelines for the preservation of cultural heritage worldwide. He further stressed that the UNESCO World Heritage convention of 1972 also took its roots in the Egypt’s International Campaign. Nowadays Egypt is still a model to follow in terms of international cooperation and preservation of cultural heritage. 4. Mounir Bouchenaki further mentioned that during his last mission to Cairo he had seen the fieldwork of the NMEC, which is rapidly advancing since its opening is foreseen in 2008. He gave a brief history of the relocation of the museum to its new site of Fustat, which is more adapted to the needs of possibility of further expansion and in close relation with Great Cairo and well integrated in the landscape. As the museological programme is now being developed, he stressed the importance to work contemporarily on the construction of the museum and its refurbishing, and training of its staff. He also mentioned that the Documentation Center on Tangible and Intangible Heritage would be established within the NMEC and that partnerships with 1 institutions abroad should be strengthened in order to create a network of museums of the same kind to enhance NMEC’s sustainability. 5. As for the Aswan Museum, Mr Bouchenaki mentioned its role of museum opened towards Africa, in particular Sudan. He stressed the importance of the newly signed MoU between the Supreme Council of Antiquities –SCA- (Egypt) and the National Corporation for Antiquities and Museums –NCAM- (Sudan) to deliver joint activities in the field of cultural heritage. He hoped that a fruitful collaboration continues and further develops the Aswan Museum as a training center in the region. He also recalled the success of the exhibition Nubia Campaign : Yesterday and Today which took place at Headquarters in April 2005 and informed the participants to the Session that an information meeting for the UNESCO Member States and Permanent Observers will follow the 15th Session of the Executive Committee. Finally, he recalled the last issue of Museum International entitled “Heritage Landscape of Egypt” which focuses on cultural heritage in Egypt with a particular attention on the Nubia Campaign and the establishment of the Nubia Museum and the NMEC. At last, he warmly wished to all Member States and observers a fruitful work. 6. On behalf of the Minister of Culture, Dr. Hawass, Vice Chairman of the Committee, welcomed the participants and thanked them for their attendance. He thanked particularly the Chairman, the Rapporteur, the Director of the Division of Cultural Heritage and the Secretariat of the Committee for their work dedicated to the Nubia Museum in Aswan and the NMEC in Cairo so far. He then expressed his deep satisfaction in the cooperation work between UNESCO and Egypt for the protection of cultural heritage. He then presented the cultural strategy of Egypt in the field of museums and the outcomes of traveling exhibition. He mentioned the exhibition King Tutankhamon already had a profit of over 9 million USD, which to be used for the establishment of museums in Egypt. 7. The Vice-Chairman then gave a brief introduction of the management of sites in Nubia and particularly the opening by President Moubarak of the Kalabsha island and the site of the unfinished obelisk. He stressed that the Egyptian authorities have concentrated in projects dedicated to preservation and restoration of sites. Since tourism in Egypt is increasing, the management sites, their accessibility and presentation are a necessity. 8. Then, he expressed with satisfaction that the contract for the construction of the NMEC was signed last year and is a very important step of as establishment of the museum. He announced that as requested by the Committee, the lake is now fully part of the museum’s landscape. He also stressed that since the NMEC is the first museum of civilization in Egypt, UNESCO’s advice is of high importance. Therefore, the museology of the museum shall be studied in close collaboration with UNESCO and in order to offer to the visitors a wide and complete outlook on Egyptian Civilization throughout different historical periods. The museum will host the collection of royal mummies and modern technology should be used to give to the visitors a lively educational approach of mummification, through the explanation of rituals, traditions, techniques etc. The scope of NMEC is to have a strong educational role. 2 9. Following the joint mission to Sudan and the signature of the MoU between the Egyptian and Sudanese authorities, Dr Hawass expressed the hope that, through the support of UNESCO, the collaboration with Sudan be strengthened. He then mentioned that the exhibition Nubia Campaign: Yesterday and Today shall soon be hosted in the Cairo Museum and presented together with Nubian artifacts. Dr Hawass expressed his hope that the Director General of UNESCO be able to attend the opening. 10. Moreover, he stressed the importance of the restitution of illicitly exported artifacts to their countries of origin and that cooperation with foreign countries shall be enhanced in order to achieve a better protection of national collections. 11. Finally, he invited the Executive Committee to hold its next Session in Cairo in order to visit the construction field of NMEC. He wished that the outcomes of this Session would be fruitful and that collaboration with UNESCO continues fruitfully. 12. Dr A. Vatandoust, Chairman of the Executive Committee, welcomed the participants and expressed the honor to be both part of the Committee and involved as an expert in the Nubia Museum and NMEC.

Paolini, Secretariat of the Committee, presented the UNESCO report on the implementation of the recommendations of the 14th Session and the last Bureau meeting of the Executive Committee related to NMEC, with a detailed budget breakdown of the expenses made for each recommendation. The Secretariat informed the Committee that two missions of international experts were organized to further develop together with the Scientific Committee of NMEC the concept of the Museum into the museological programme. The themes were developed into sub-subject and the object selection has started in accordance to the themes, from prehistory to modern era. ii. The Secretariat further stressed that the construction of the museum is very advanced and that three missions of experts were carried out for the revision of the architectural project. Following these missions and after revision of the architectural project by the Egyptian authorities the final plans have been approved. It was stressed that there is still a need to review the security in the building, both in regard to object’s and visitor’s security and to further develop the museum’s landscape. Since the architectural part is near to completion, UNESCO’s task is to concentrate on training programmes and education. iii. A brief presentation on the results of mission, carried out by two experts, for the Documentation Center on Tangible and Intangible Heritage, was given and it was mentioned that the Egyptian Society for Folk Tradition received a contract to start a research on intangible heritage. The Secretariat stressed that since the Supreme Council of Antiquities already carries out a programme for establishing a GIS on archaeological sites in Egypt there was no use to duplicate the work and that the Committee should decide on the use of the funds for the establishment of the above Documentation Center. The Secretariat further gave a brief outlook on the two workshops organized for the NMEC staff which included practical activities in Cairo museums, and training in history of Egyptian civilization which is ongoing.

  • Returning to Places of Wounded Memory-The Role of World Heritage
    THEME: THE THREATS TO THE SPIRIT OF PLACE “RETURNING TO PLACES OF WOUNDED MEMORY” The Role of World Heritage Sites in Reconciliation ALBERT OGLE Irish School of Ecumenics, Trinity College, Dublin Bea House, Milltown Park Dublin 6, Ireland [email protected] Abstract. This paper explores the emerging role of cultural heritage in community reconciliation, particularly for identity-based conflicts. I utilize theories on the relationship between place, memory, identity and violence and interdisciplinary research focused on Ohrid, Macedonia, a UNESCO World Heritage Site (WHS) and Ireland. In both countries, heritage and religion have unique roles in identity-based conflicts. I conclude with recommendations as to how UNESCO and the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) might encourage the creation of a new growing body of mediation, reconciliation and community transformation specialists who would become partners in the preservation of tangible and intangible heritage. 1. Progression of ICOMOS – from conservation to community reconciliation? The first sentence of the Venice Charter (1964) contains the concept that historic monuments are “imbued with a message from the past” and are “living witnesses” to traditions. Andrzej Tomaszewski (Tomaszewski 2003) reminds us that in the history of the conservation movement, it was only a century ago that Alois Riegl wrote about the concept of a “memorial value”. Fifty years later, Erwin Panofsky is concerned about the interpretation of material works. In this manner, an architectural monument that is the backdrop of an event is a ‘silent witness’ to that happening, and gains a new dimension of ‘memorial values’, becoming a ‘place of memory’. Tomaszewski reminds us how a recent European theory of ‘German Places of Memory’ emphasizes their symbolic function rather than their material objectification.

  • The Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH) Report for The
    The Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH) Report for the 38th Session of the World Heritage Committee Qatar (Doha), 15-25/06/2014 Date of the Report: 12/02/2014 1. Background and mandate of the Centre In July 2009, the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) signed the agreement on the establishment, in Bahrain, of an Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH) as a Category 2 Centre under the auspices of UNESCO. The ARC-WH is an autonomous and independent legal entity at the service of Arab Member States. It acts as a relay for the action of the UNESCO World Heritage Centre and its partners in the Arab region by federating energies around the conservation, promotion and presentation of cultural and natural heritage. The purpose is to balance and increase the representation of Arab States’ properties on the World Heritage List, promote better protection and management of these properties, mobilize regional and international financial support, and raise awareness about World Heritage in the region. The ARC-WH’s mandate comes as a response to regional needs and priorities in relation to main focus areas defined by UNESCO, particularly in its Draft Medium Term Strategy for 2014-2021 (37 C/4). The ARC-WH addresses key issues including ongoing political transformations and conflicts that affect several Arab States, inadequacy of institutional and legislative tools needed for effective World Heritage Program implementation, limited awareness and support from the region’s decision makers, and limited human and technical capacities within national agencies responsible for the implementation of the Convention.
