Criteria for the inclusion of cultural properties in the World Heritage List Type du document Décision Numéro de référence VI.A(d).34 Date Jui 27, 1977 SourceUNEP, InforMEA Statut active Sujet Espèces sauvages et écosystèmes Traité Convention concernant la protection du patrimoine mondial, culturel et naturel (Nov 23, 1972) Réunion 1ère session du Comité Site web whc.unesco.org Résumé Some members questioned several changes made to the original draft text prepared by IUCN. For instance, there had been a change of emphasis from "representative" examples to "outstanding" examples in the different criteria, with which one member did not agree. The same participant found that too much emphasis had been laid on superlative examples (the highest, the largest, etc.). Another member sought to reinsert manageability as a criterion; in reply the IUCN representative considered that this should rather be taken into account at the stage of allocating funds. It was decided that, as for the text on cultural criteria, named examples would be excluded.
