On 8 and 9 July 2021 (Part I) and on 9 and 10 September 2021 (Part II), States Parties to the 2003 Convention and observers were invited to participate in an Open-ended intergovernmental working group in the framework of the global reflection on the listing mechanisms of the 2003 Convention.

The Open-ended intergovernmental working group in the framework of the global reflection on the listing mechanisms of the 2003 Convention is comprised of two parts:

  • Part I (online, a two day meeting on 8 and 9 July 2021): the working group discussed the recommendations of the Category VI meeting of experts in order to decide on a general direction to take for the reform of the listing system of the Convention (recordings available).
  • Part II (online, a two day meeting on 9 and 10 September 2021): on the basis of Part I of the meeting, the working group agreed to recommend specific changes to be made in line with the general direction chosen in Part I, and adopted Recommendations to submit to the sixteenth session of the Committee (recordings available).

The working documents for Part I (8 and 9 July 2021) and Part II (9 and 10 September 2021) as well as the adopted set of Recommendations (LHE/21/16.COM WG/Recommendations) can be found below.

The sixteenth session of the Committee (UNESCO Headquarters, Paris, 13 to 18 December 2021) provided the opportunity for furthering intergovernmental discussions on this topic, and for proposing relevant revisions to the Operational Directives for possible adoption by the General Assembly in June/July 2022.
