CALL FOR PAPERS
In conjunction with a meeting of Advisory Bodies of the World Heritage Committee,
and in partnership with our network of indigenous peoples' and civil society
organizations, World Heritage Watch is organizing the
8th International NGO Forum on World Heritage
in Paris, France, in January 20201
The Forum will discuss cases of World Heritage Sites where there is a concern for
their protection and safeguarding which should be brought to the attention of the
World Heritage Committee and the general public. Presentations shall provide
information about the sites which
- is new and relevant for the protection and safeguarding of the site; and/or
- has not received adequate consideration by the State Party or UNESCO; and/or
- reflects the perspective of the local population at the site and/or civil society actors;
in order to help the World Heritage Committee and its Advisory Bodies to have a
more comprehensive assessment of the site and thus arrive at better decisions during
its session.
Papers on any World Heritage Site are welcome, but priority should be given to sites
- which will likely be on the agenda of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee's 44th
Session (see Annex below), or
- which should be put on the agenda with urgency.
In addition to sites which are inscribed on the World Heritage List, the Forum will also
consider sites which are nominated for inscription on the World Heritage List, which
are on a Tentative List or should be placed on a Tentative List.
Papers should be as specific, concise and detailed as possible. Where applicable,
they should refer as much as possible to prior decisions of the UNESCO World
Heritage Committee, and should make clear suggestions as to which action should
be taken by whom. For general orientation we also suggest that you consult the
Final Document of the WHW 2015 Bonn Conference, and the list of sites on the
agenda of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee Meeting, both of which can be
found on the WHW website.
Any and all persons of any occupational background - except officials involved on
national or international level in decision-making on world heritage sites - are invited
to submit papers. Representatives of non-governmental organizations, indigenous
