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 It was repealed by Repeal "World Heritage List" in December of 2006.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.

For the last binding list as it was just before being repealed, see here.

The List

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!
