Latest revision as of 14:43, 1 August 2007

The World Heritage List (WHL) was created on November 15, 2003 with the passage of UN Resolution #37. It came to be considered by many in the United Nations a flawed and potentially abusive instrument for preserving world heritage -- and the butt of jokes -- and was repealed in December of 2006.

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.
