'Operational Guidelines for the implementation of the World Heritage Convention' now available in Arabic

The Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention set forth the procedures for the protection and conservation of World Heritage properties, the inscription of properties on the World Heritage List and the List of World Heritage in Danger, the granting of International Assistance under the World Heritage Fund, and the mobilization of national and international support in favor of the Convention.

They were revised in 2019 by the World Heritage Committee at its 43^rd session (Baku, Azerbaijan) to reflect new concepts, knowledge and experience.

This 2019 version Operational Guidelines has now been translated into Arabic thanks to the financial support of the Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage (ARC-WH) in Bahrain. This translated version will allow site managers and a wide audience in the Arab region to be aware of the updated guidelines in the field of World Heritage.
