Abstract

The Committee approved the revised nomination form (CC-79/CONF.003/7) subject to the following:

(a) the text should be revised to reflect the decisions taken by the Committee on the criteria for the inclusion of properties in the World Heritage List and guidelines for the evaluation of nominations (see session XI above); the attention of States Parties should be drawn, in particular, to the essential criterion of outstanding universal value that should be met by properties nominated;

(b) The form should emphasize the importance of adequate buffer zones and ask for details on measures taken by the State Party on the establishment of such zones.

(c) A provision would be added inviting States to prepare a brief summary of each nomination for reproduction and for distribution to members of the Committee.
