REPORT OF THE RAPPORTEUR OF THE 36

th

SESSION OF THE

WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE (ST PETERSBURG, 2012)

Mrs Beatriz Hernández Narváez, Rapporteur of the 36th session of the World

Heritage Committee,

apologized for not being able to deliver personally her report. She indicated that she was not in a position to attend the 37th session of the Committee and that therefore she had to record her presentation.

She thanked all her colleagues and members of the

Committee for having entrusted

her with the great responsibility of being Rapporteur during the 36th session of the Committee in Saint Petersburg. She also paid tribute to the Chairperson of the 36th session, Ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova, for her relentless work and ability to conduct the discussions of the Committee. She underlined that, in addition the 21 members of the World Heritage Committee who were present in Saint Petersburg; 97 States Parties to the World Heritage

Convention, were represented

as Observers, showing the great importance given to the 1972 Convention, one of the most universally ratified legal instruments which now accounts with 190 States Parties. Ms Hernández Narváez indicated that, for the first time and as per the decision ado pted by the General Assembly, the proceedings of the 36th session World Heritage Committee were made available through live streaming on the Internet, as per, enabling the stakeholders of the Convention to follow the debates and making the process more tra nsparent. She also indicated that two fora were held in conjunction with the 36th session: the Youth Model of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Kazan, capital of the Republic of Tatarstan and the International Forum "NGOs in Support of the World

Heritage Properties".

Ms Hernández Narváez mentioned that the 36th session witnessed numerous threats to World Heritage; notably the damages caused to the World Heritage sites in Mali. She underlined that the Committee strongly condemned these acts of destruction and decided to inscribe the sites of Mali in the List in danger and called upon the Director-General of UNESCO to create a special fund to help Mali in the conservation and restoration of its cultural heritage. She also recalled also that the Committee launched an appeal to the international community for the protection of this heritage. 8 She noted that these tragic events gave a wider dimension of the current and future challenges facing the 1972 Convention, particularly in terms of strengthening protection, conservation and rehabilitation of the heritage of humanity. Ms Hernández Narváez recalled that the 36th session dealt with a very heavy agenda and that, to optimize its work, and following a previous practice, the

Committee established two su

bsidiary bodies devoted to the Operational Guidelines, and to the Budget matters, the latter having raised concerns on the sustainability of the World Heritage Fund. As to the state of the World Heritage List, the Committee inscribed 26 properties, 5 natural, 1 mixed and 20 cultural. With these inscriptions, the List now totals 962 properties located in 157 States Parties. She recalled that five properties were added to the List of World Heritage in Danger and that the Committee also examined 141 state of conservation reports, including 35 properties on the List of World Heritage in Danger. In total, the Committee adopted 241 decisions. Ms Hernández Narváez indicated that all this work would not have been possible without the professional assistance of the Secretariat. She finally made a special mention to the Advisory Bodies, members of the Committee, Member States, observers, NGOs and all those who contributed to the success of the 36th session. She ended her presentation by congratulating her successo r, Mrs. Jasna ZRNOVIC (Serbia) who accepted to take the role of Rapporteur for the 37th session. The Chairperson thanked the Rapporteur on behalf of all Committee members and closed item 4 of the Agenda. ITEM 12 REVISION OF THE OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES [CONSTITUTION OF
