Abstract

The World Heritage Committee,

1.   Having examined Documents WHC-12/36.COM/8B and WHC-12/36.COM/INF.8B1,

2.   Refers the nomination of the Hill Forts of Rajasthan, India, back to the State Party, in order to allow it to:

a)   Provide a more detailed approach for the selection of the components to show that they present the various categories of Rajput military architecture in the whole range of the Rajput kingdoms’ physiographical terrain,

b)   Provide more information on management of the five components under the Fort Apex Advisory Committee and the overarching authority for the serial nomination;

3.   Recommends that the State Party requests an advisory mission to the site or discusses other forms of dialogue to encourage the upstream process which is essential for this nomination.
