Samenvatting
The preamble to the Convention concerning the protecting of the world cultural and natural heritage 1972 (the World Heritage convention) adopted 30 years ago, testifies to the conviction of the state parties 'that deterioration or disappearance of any item of the cultural ... heritage constitutes a harmful impoverishment of the heritage of all the nations of the world.' But what about states not party to the Convention? Is it not the case that the monuments, groups of buildings and sites protected by the Convention are expressly characterized in its preamble as 'the world heritage of mankind as a whole?'. And are not states parties and non-states parties together the legal representatives on the international plane? As such, is it not possible to argue that the obligation is owned not merely to states parties, but to the international community as a whole? Article uses the Buddhas of Bamiyan as a casestudy. |
