According to Paragraph 30 of the ‘Policy Document for the Integration of a Sustainable Development Perspective into the Processes of the World Heritage Convention’ adopted by the General Assembly of States Parties to the World Heritage Convention at its 20th session (UNESCO, 2015) (often referred to as the World Heritage & Sustainable Development Policy):

“States Parties have a critically important role to play in ensuring that the implementation of the World Heritage Convention, including the establishment of the World Heritage List and management of inscribed properties, are used to prevent conflicts between and within States Parties and to promote respect for cultural diversity within and around World Heritage properties. To this end, States Parties should:

(iii) Consider Tentative List additions and nominations for World Heritage listing that have potential to generate fruitful dialogue between States Parties and different cultural communities, for example through sites that "exhibit an important interchange of human values…" (Criterion ii);

(v) Consider, where appropriate, identifying, nominating and managing transboundary/transnational heritage properties and supporting mentoring arrangements in order to foster dialogue between neighbouring States Parties or non-contiguous States Parties sharing a common heritage.”
