亚洲地区世界遗产预估培训班举行
Completion of the Workshop on Preliminary Assessment Requests for National Focal Points from the Asia Region
2024年10月21日至22日，“亚洲地区世界遗产预估培训班”在成都举行。此次活动由ICOMOS及ICOMOS中国主办，四川省文物局与WHITRAP联合承办。
该培训班旨在为亚洲国家在实施《世界遗产公约》方面提供技术支持，特别是提名过程中出现的机会。在两天的会议中，与会的国家联络人了解了初步评估流程，并接受了如何准备和提交有效提名申请的培训。
培训班上，ICOMOS的代表发表了演讲，并由ICOMOS中国和WHITRAP的专家主持了小组讨论。参与者接受了关于《世界遗产公约》核心原则和程序的培训，包括初步评估的细节以及它与提名程序的不同之处。此外，还介绍了突出普遍价值（OUV）、完整性、真实性、保护和管理要求，以及当地社区参与的重要性等核心概念。小组讨论环节中，参与者探讨了共同面临的挑战以及准备初步评估申请和过渡到提名程序（从准备暂定名录到提交提名文件）的基本要素。
在培训班开幕式上，ICOMOS的主席Teresa Patrício、ICOMOS 中国的主席宋新潮和 ICOMOS 中国秘书处主任燕海鸣致开幕词。随后，ICOMOS世界遗产评估组主任Gwenaëlle Bourdin、世界遗产顾问Luisa De Marco和郑军就研讨会的关键主题发表了演讲。
- 初步评估流程 -
2021年世界遗产委员会通过了两个阶段的提名程序，旨在提升提名质量并加强缔约国与咨询机构之间的对话。这一新步骤被称为初步评估，由ICOMOS和IUCN进行独立的案头审查，无需实地考察，即可根据现有信息判断遗产是否有可能成功提名。
初步评估旨在通过帮助资源有限的国家提交更有力的提名，防止未来《世界遗产名录》中出现地域不平衡的情况。
On 21-22 October 2024, a workshop on Preliminary Assessment Requests for National Focal Points from the Asia region took place in Chengdu, China. The event was organised by ICOMOS and ICOMOS China, in partnership with the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Heritage Administration and WHITRAP.
The workshop aimed to provide technical assistance for implementing the World Heritage Convention in Asia, with a particular focus on exploring opportunities within the nomination process. Over 2 days, national focal points from the region were introduced to the Preliminary Assessment process and trained in preparing and submitting effective nomination requests.
The workshop featured presentations by ICOMOS representatives and group activities led by experts from ICOMOS China and WHITRAP. Participants received training on the key principles and procedures of the World Heritage Convention, including the specifics of the Preliminary Assessment and its distinctions from the nomination process. Core concepts such as Outstanding Universal Value (OUV), integrity, authenticity, protection and management requirements, and the importance of engaging local communities were also covered. Group work then allowed attendees to discuss common challenges as well as the essential elements for the preparation of Preliminary Assessment requests and their transition into the nomination process, from the preparation of a Tentative List entry to the submission of a nomination file.
ICOMOS President Teresa Patrício, ICOMOS China President Song Xinchao and ICOMOS China Secretariat Director Haiming Yan gave introductory remarks during the opening ceremony of the workshop. ICOMOS World Heritage Evaluation Unit Director Gwenaëlle Bourdin and ICOMOS World Heritage Advisors Luisa De Marco and Jun Zheng then delivered presentations covering the workshop's key themes.
- The Preliminary Assessment process -
In 2021, the World Heritage Committee adopted a 2-phase nomination process to enhance nomination quality and strengthen dialogue between States Parties and Advisory Bodies. Called Preliminary Assessment, this new step constitutes an independent desk review conducted by ICOMOS and IUCN, without a site visit and based on available information, to determine whether a property has the potential for a successful nomination.
Preliminary Assessment aims to prevent future geographic imbalances in the World Heritage List by enabling countries with fewer financial and human resources to submit stronger nominations.
