Action Plan for the Future (Cultural Landscapes)

The Action Plan for the Future (Cultural Landscapes)

was prepared by the UNESCO "Expert Meeting on
Cultural Landscapes of Outstanding Universal Value" held in
Templin, Germany in October 1993 (see von Droste et al
1995: Annex 1). The Action Plan outlines
recommendations concerning the provision of "Guidance to
States Parties on the Identification, Assessment, Nomination
and Management of Cultural Landscapes for Inclusion in the
World Heritage List" and on the preparation of a "Thematic
Study on Cultural Landscapes". The Action Plan was
adopted by the World Heritage Committee at its
seventeenth session in 1993 (UNESCO 4 February 1994:
55-56 and Annex VII).

Advisory bodies

Article 8(3) of the World Heritage Convention

establishes the International Centre for the Study of
the Preservation and Restoration of Cultural Property (Rome
Centre), now known as ICCROM, the International
Council of Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) and the
International Union for the Conservation of Nature and
Natural Resources (IUCN), now known as the
World Conservation Union as advisory bodies to
the World Heritage Committee.
The Operational Guidelines outline the various rôles
of the advisory bodies in relation to the
implementation of the Convention (UNESCO
February 1996).
The advisory bodies are also referred to as
advisory organisations in the Operational
Guidelines (UNESCO February 1996: Paragraphs 49, 50 and
84).
