In the context of its 17th General Conference held in Paris in 1972, UNESCO adopted the “Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage”: cultural and natural heritage of outstanding universal value is to be identified and preserved for humankind as a whole. This marked the beginning of the “UNESCO World Heritage List”. The International Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage provides concerted, world­ wide support for the monuments inscribed on the List. The Convention does not substitute measures taken by individual States Parties but is aimed at effectively supporting and comple­ menting these measures. The Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage is of special importance also because it constitutes the first international document to state that a natural heritage site can be assigned the same significance as a manmade one. As a consequence, the Convention distinguishes between “cultural heritage” and “natural heritage” and more­ over provides for “mixed properties”, i. e. monuments with a particularly significant combination of cultural and natural fea ­ tures; furthermore, major prehistoric sites are listed under the portmanteau term “natural sites”. Since 1992, UNESCO has more­ over been using the category of “cultural landscapes” as well. 981 World
