legal framework, World Heritage

According to Article 5(d) of the World Heritage Convention, the States Parties are required to:”[…] take the appropriate legal, scientific, technical, administrative and financial measures necessary for the identification, protection, conservation, presentation and rehabilitation of this heritage ”.

The World Heritage Operational Guidelines (paragraph 97) further states that ”All properties inscribed on the World Heritage List must have adequate long-term legislative, regulatory, institutional and/or traditional protection and management to ensure their safeguarding.” The Operational Guidelines also emphasize that the legal framework must be implemented and enforced.
