World Heritage
Periodic Monitoring
Every six years, States Parties are invited to submit to the World Heritage Committee a periodic report on the application of the World Heritage Convention, including the state of conservation of the World Heritage properties located on its territories
The Committee adopts a regional approach to this process. In 2005-6 reports will be compiled for Europe and North America. This will cover 297 properties in 50 countries inscribed in and before 1999.
