A high-quality map is a basic prerequisite for the proper conservation of a World Heritage property.
Maps of World Heritage properties inscribed between 1978–1998 were reviewed in the framework of the Retrospective Inventory launched in 2004. The States Parties concerned were requested to provide boundary clarifications, whenever necessary. To date, some boundary clarifications are still awaited and reminders have been sent to the States Parties concerned.
Maps of properties inscribed from 2007 until present have undergone the Nominations Completeness Check, as officially established in the revised version of the Operational Guidelines that came into force on 2 February 2005.
However, maps of properties inscribed between 1999–2006 had not been subject to any of the above two procedures, i.e. the Retrospective Inventory or the Completeness Check. Thus some improvement of the existing documentation for these properties may still be needed. Therefore, in order to ensure the best possible conservation of the property, we would greatly appreciate your cooperation in the verification of the maps of World Heritage properties inscribed between the years 1999 –2006 and, if necessary, to ensure the preparation of a new map showing the boundaries and buffer zone of the World Heritage property as inscribed.
