Item 8D of the Provisional Agenda: Clarifications of property boundaries and sizes by States Parties in response to the Retrospective Inventory Clarifications of property boundaries and sizes by States Parties in response to the Retrospective Inventory

SUMMARY

This document presents the results of the Retrospective Inventory of Nomination dossiers of European World Heritage properties inscribed in the period 1978- 1998 (conducted in coordination with the European Periodic Reporting Exercise) and Arab World Heritage properties inscribed between 1978 and 2004 (in view of the launching of the second cycle of Periodic Reporting). Forty States Parties have responded to the letters dispatched following the review of the individual dossiers in order to clarify the original intention of their Nominations (or to submit appropriate cartographic documentation) for 124 World Heritage properties. A summary of other follow-up activities to the Periodic Report for the European Region is contained in document WHC-08/32COM/11C. Draft Decision: 32 COM 8D, see Point IV

I. The Retrospective Inventory 1. The Retrospective Inventory, an in-depth examination of the Nomination dossiers

available at the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and IUCN, was initiated in 2004, in parallel with the launching of the Periodic Reporting Exercise in Europe, involving European properties inscribed on the World Heritage List in the period 1978-1998. The same year, the Retrospective Inventory was endorsed by the World Heritage Committee at its 7th extraordinary session (Paris, 2004, see Decision 7 EXT.COM 7.1).

2. The objective of the Retrospective Inventory is the identification and collection of baseline

data (such as boundaries, geographic coordinates, serial components, area of properties in hectares, statements of significance, etc.) for early inscribed World Heritage properties, data which had never been gathered in a systematic way before, in spite of their key role in different processes, such as reactive monitoring, modification of boundaries and the review of Periodic Reports for World Heritage properties. The reason lying behind this flaw was that documents and maps received as part of the Nomination file: a) had neither been registered nor inventoried until 2000; b) had been dispersed in different repositories (archives at the World Heritage Centre,

ICOMOS, IUCN). In this context, the identification of baseline data was already difficult when only one Nomination dossier had been received, but it was even more complicated when several versions of the Nomination file had been submitted. In case of uncertainty, no help could come from the States Parties’ side, as in most cases there was no institutional memory at the local and national levels concerning the inscription process of World Heritage properties.

3. Therefore, the Retrospective Inventory was initiated: all documentation available at the

archives of the World Heritage Centre, ICOMOS and IUCN was inventoried and analyzed, property by property. Baseline data were identified and made easily retrievable, through their insertion in Inventories and in the database of the World Heritage Centre. All maps were examined and compared to the text of the Nomination, the evaluation of the Advisory Bodies and the decision of the World Heritage Committee concerning the property, in order to identify which map was the authoritative one, displaying the delimitation of the World Heritage property as inscribed. This analysis allowed the detection of outstanding issues needing to be clarified (absence of delimitation, mistakes in the attribution of geographical coordinates, etc.). Such problems were subsequently presented to the States Parties concerned, whose cooperation was requested in order to clarify them. Letters were sent to Permanent Delegations, National Commissions and Focal Points identifying the maps and other geographic data on file and asking for the missing information. All satisfactory answers received were finally presented as “clarifications” to the World Heritage Committee.

4. This process (inventory – analysis – contact with the States Parties concerned –

clarification noted by the World Heritage Committee) involved since 2004 more than 300 World Heritage properties in different Regions, following three phases: a) 2004-2005: Nomination files of European properties inscribed in the period 1978-

1998 were reviewed and 41 letters were addressed to States Parties in the Region. 28 satisfactory clarifications were presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2006 (see Decision 30 COM 11A.2) and 15 in 2007 (see Decision 31 COM 11A.2). The World Heritage Committee requested that all outstanding issues in Europe should be clarified by 1st December 2007;

b) 2006: Nomination files of Arab properties inscribed in the period 1978-2004 were reviewed and 13 letters were addressed to States Parties in the Region. The 10 satisfactory clarifications received are presented to the World Heritage Committee in this document;

Clarifications of property boundaries and sizes by States Parties WHC-08/32.COM/8D, p. 1 in response to the Retrospective Inventory

c) 2007: Periodic Reporting submissions (maps, Section II, etc.) concerning European properties inscribed in the period 1978-1998 were reviewed and 35 letters were addressed to States Parties in the Region. 31 States Parties have responded, either in full or in part. The 71 satisfactory clarifications received are presented to the World Heritage Committee in this document. Therefore, the total of satisfactory clarifications received between 2005 and 2008 reaches the amount of 114 properties located in 37 States Parties;

d) 2008-2009: the analysis of Nomination files of African properties inscribed in the period 1978-2005 is currently ongoing.

II. Clarifications 1. This document presents “clarifications”, i.e. responses of the States Parties to the

questions raised by the Retrospective Inventory. Two main problems were identified with regard to the geographic information submitted with the Nomination files of early inscribed World Heritage properties: a) a map was submitted, but no clear delimitation of the nominated area was displayed; b) a clear delimitation of the nominated area was displayed, but on a document which

technically could not be defined as “a map” (for example, lacking a coordinate grid, or a scale, or a legend, etc.)

2. “Clarifications” submitted by States Parties in response to both types of issues normally

take the form of maps and are considered satisfactory (and are therefore presented in this document) only if they: a) are consistent with the Nomination, the evaluation of the concerned Advisory

Body(ies) and the decision of the World Heritage Committee at the time of inscription; b) meet technical requirements, i.e.:

i) being topographic or cadastral maps at the largest available scale (the choice between a topographic or cadastral map depends on the size of the property);

ii) displaying the delimitation of the World Heritage property as inscribed; iii) showing a clearly labeled coordinate grid (or coordinate references for at least

four points on the map); iv) presenting a bar scale; v) displaying a legend in English or French clearly referring to the “boundaries of the

World Heritage property” (and to the “buffer zone of the World Heritage property”, if applicable).

In order to avoid any future misunderstanding, it is important that the World Heritage Committee “takes note” of such clarifications. A “Clarification Document” will be issued each year until all pending issues have been resolved.

3. States Parties often submitted maps presenting the delimitation of World Heritage

properties as they are understood today, rather than as defined at the time of inscription: such maps did not imply a “clarification”, but a “modification”. In fact, while a “boundary clarification” is a re-statement of the original intention of the State Party (consistent with the decision of the World Heritage Committee, the evaluation of the relevant Advisory Body(ies) and the nomination), a “boundary modification” is represented by any change (minor or significant) to the delimitation of a property as inscribed. Any boundary modification, even when simply reflecting changes in the national legislation, needs to be reviewed by the Advisory Bodies and approved by the World Heritage Committee, according to the procedure for boundary modifications (minor or significant) defined in paragraphs 163-165 of the Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention. Among the 21 proposals for minor boundary modifications which are being presented to the World Heritage Committee in 2008, 18 have their origin in the reflection requested through the Retrospective Inventory.


It must be noted that in some cases both clarifications and proposals for minor boundary modifications for the same World Heritage property were submitted at the same time: in such cases, the clarification is presented in this document only if a map clearly displaying the delimitation of the property as inscribed was presented separately from the map showing the proposed change. Minor boundary modifications are presented in Document WHC-08/32.COM/8B.Add.

III. Clarifications in 2007-2008 1. At its 31st session (Christchurch, 2007), the World Heritage Committee requested States

Parties in the Europe Region to submit all requested clarifications by 1st December 2007 (see Decision 31 COM 11A.2). Following this decision, as mentioned above, 35 letters were addressed to European States Parties asking for the missing information: 31 answers were received. At the same time, 3 answers were received to the letters sent to Arab States Parties in 2006. Of the total of 141 clarifications received for World Heritage properties in the European and Arab Regions in 2007, 81 are satisfactory and are therefore being presented for the World Heritage Committee's consideration in this document.

2. Clarifications are presented (see Annex) by Region (Europe and Arab States), by State

Party (in English alphabetical order) and by date of inscription of the property. For each World Heritage property, the following elements are provided: a) an identification table providing its name, its date of inscription, its criteria of

inscription, its ID number, its area in hectares (and the area in hectares of its buffer zone, whenever applicable) and the date of receipt of the clarification;

b) a “Technical Summary” providing some explanatory notes; c) if the property is serial, a small table listing the serial components and their sizes; d) a thumbnail record of the new map(s) of the property.
