List of World Heritage in Danger and Deletion of a Property from the World Heritage List

Abstract

This chapter discusses Article 11 of the 1972 Convention, which governs the inscription of a property on the List of World Heritage in Danger. It explains that clarification is needed of the condition laid down by the article. The request for assistance under the Convention should not be confused with a State Party request concerned for the inscription of a property on the List of World Heritage in Danger. The chapter looks into the process of the deletion of a property from the World Heritage List. It explains how the World Heritage Committee is responsible for examining whether or not the property in question should be removed from the World Heritage List.
