UNESCO site protection provides

international recognition and legal safeguards for sites of outstanding universal value, offering financial aid, technical assistance, and expert training to the host countries. Protection also includes specific measures to safeguard heritage during armed conflict, deter military use of sites, and prevent encroachment and damage from other activities. Benefits also extend to local economies through increased tourism and community involvement in conservation. 

International Recognition & Legal Protection

 

• Global Responsibility: It recognizes that sites of exceptional cultural or natural importance are a shared responsibility of all humanity. 

• Legal Safeguards: The designation provides international legal protection, preventing mistreatment or misuse of the site. 
• Protection from Military Use: Sites are not to be used in support of military efforts or targeted during conflict, according to UNESCO. 

Financial and Technical Support

 

• Funding: Sites may receive funds from the World Heritage Fund to support their conservation efforts. 

• Technical Assistance: Countries can receive expert advice on conservation measures and management. 
• Training: Professional training is provided to local staff and specialists to improve site management and preservation skills. 

Conservation and Prevention

 

• Site Monitoring: UNESCO works with national governments to monitor the condition of sites and implement conservation measures. 

• Preventive Measures: This includes developing plans for emergency protection against hazards like fire or building collapse. 
• Management of Visitor Access: Guidelines are provided to manage tourism to minimize environmental impact and visitor damage. 

Community and Economic Benefits

 

• Increased Tourism: A World Heritage designation can attract significant international recognition and boost local economies through increased tourism revenue. 

• Community Involvement: The process encourages commitment from local populations to participate in the conservation of their cultural and natural heritage
