Abstract (in English)

As an advisory body to the World Heritage Convention, the IUCN each year undertakes independent evaluations of nominated natural properties, as well as undertaking joint evaluations with ICOMOS of “mixed” (natural and cultural) properties. IUCN may also provide input to ICOMOS evaluations of cultural landscapes. The purpose of this review as described in the Terms of Reference was to briefly analyse the overall IUCN framework related to rights in the World Heritage context and undertake a desk based review of IUCN’s evaluation processes for nominations of sites to be recognised on the World Heritage List, in specific relation to the identification and recognition of issues related to rights of local communities (including indigenous peoples) within nominations submitted by signatory States Parties to the World Heritage Convention. While some space is dedicated in the first sections to overall conceptual and policy matters, it was also framed as a rapid review of current evaluation operations and options for strengthening procedures in relation to community and rights concerns: The exercise is considered a learning-by-doing process explicitly aiming at generating lessons and tools to be tested by IUCN and its evaluators in 2012. The emphasis is therefore operational. [Extract from the introduction]
