World Heritage List logo
The World Heritage List was created on November 15, 2003 with the UN resolution 37 World Heritage List by a vote of 9,402 to 7,623. It was repealed by Repeal "World Heritage List" in December of 2006.

Its aim was to create a list of protected environmental sites with extreme significance, in order 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 adding a provision for removal), it was often used as "punishment" to another nation for a comment or vote in the UN. This was a reason cited by many nations for repealing it.

Gruesome assaults such as these upon OMGTKK's national mascot were once commonplace, but now all Kenny-killers are in violation of UNR #37. (Remember kiddies, compliance is mandatory!) Thanks, World Heritage List!
