Waiting for Evaluation (5) - Palestine: Land of Olives and Vines - Battir (Palestine)
- Great Himalayan National Park (India)
- Russian Kremlins (Russia)
- Bolgar Historical and Archaeological Complex (Russia)
- Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary (Philippines)
Apparently, the
Russian Kremlins will not be evaluated this year. Therefore, we are only awaiting (4) evaluations. To summarize, the Palestine nomination,
Battir is evaluated on a emergency basis, and will likely (once again) be controversial.
Mt. Hamiguitan was recommended for
deferral in 2013, but was over-ruled and given a
referral.
Bolgar was recommended by ICOMOS for rejection (
Not Inscribe), but after a very long debate achieved a
referral. India's
Himalayan National Park nomination was originally given a
deferral, but also managed a
referral.
IUCN/ICOMOS
- Great Himalayan National Park (D)______________WHC= (R)
- Mt. Hamiguitan Range Wildlife Sanctuary (D)______WHC= (R)
- Bolgar Historical and Archeological Complex (NI)___WHC= (R)
*All (3) of these nominations are facing a very different world heritage committee than last year. Philippines is a new committee member, while Russia's term has ended.
