WHL's aim was to create a list of protected environmental sites to prevent them from logging, mining and other environmentally damaging activities.
However, due to a loophole in the resolution that permitted nations to add parts or even the entirety of other nations to the list (and not including a provision for removing list items), UN delegations starting using the list to "punish" other nations for disagreeable comments or votes on the General Assembly floor. This was a reason cited by many nations for repealing WHL.
A replacement, entitled Protection of Historical Sites, passed in July 2007.
For the last binding version of the list as it was appeared just before its repeal, see here.

Resolution Text
- Recognising that all nations share a common global environment;
- Recognising that sites of pristine environmental significance should be protected for all people; and
- Recognising that a lack of environmental protection protocols currently exists:
- It is proposed that a World Heritage List be established. All UN nations may voluntarily list sites of environmental significance both internally and globally. Listed sites would be protected from logging, mining and other environmentally-damaging activities.
