Résumé (en anglais)

This new ICOMOS World Report on Monuments and Sires in Danger, with some 60 separate reports from 45 countries or fields of expertise, shows once again that many monuments and heritage sites are threatened worldwide even if they are on the World Heritage List and that the losses caused not only by natural disasters but also by man are immense. Faced with the gigantic tsunami catastrophe, which hit humankind exactly one year after the terrible Bam earthquake (26 December 20030) and while this report was already being printed, we hope that the professional network of ICOMOS will prove successful in view of this tremendous challenge. The annual report by ICOMOS on Heritage at Risk is intended to highlight problems and issues threatening monuments and sites around the world, and where possible to present case studies from various countries to share possible solutions with other areas of the world. This meets ICOMOS' objectives to serve as a forum for professional dialogue and exchange, and to disseminate information on conservation principles, techniques and policies. In presenting these reports from many parts of the world. ICOMOS recognises that they are a mere drop in the bucket of the risks, threats and damage to individual sites and monuments and general patterns in the treatment of cultural heritage places that risks their fabric, their cultural integrity and the special values they have for associated communities. The reports are a snapshot, depicting issues considered to be important, pressing and serious to those reporting; they do not pretend to be comprehensive or present statistical trends and pressures. Even so, this 2004/2005 Heritage at Risk report shows clearly that heritage protection and conservation / preservation still has a long way to go, before 1COMOS can be assured of a consistent worldwide recognition and concern for our monuments and sites, cultural landscapes and all kinds of heritage places. It appears that cultural heritage still does not gain the level of commitment that the international conventions for its protection might suggest. In many countries archaeological sites continue to be plundered by illegal excavations, and the illicit traffic of works of art represents a continuous loss of cultural goods that from a preservation perspective should be preserved on their original site. Not only paintings, sculptures and the artefacts of cult sites are being decimated in many countries through theft, but art monuments are actually being destroyed in order to gain fragments for the market: temple complexes are being looted, sculptures decapitated, frescoes cut up. Whilst damage from war and natural disasters gain international headlines, the enclosed reports show that just as great risks are more insidious and incremental. These dangers result from a lack of knowledge about what heritage there is, a lack of awareness of its value to our society, a lack of understanding of how it may be protected whilst allowing certain developments, including a lack of appreciation of technical solutions and conservation standards. Analysis of the reports in this volume shows that apart from the general risks to heritage from natural disasters and physical decay of structures, there are certain patterns in human activity that risk our heritage. These are among others: war and inter-ethnic conflicts, development, tourism and redundancy. [from the introduction by Michael Petzet]
