Hey, I just realised The Olive Grove Landscapes of Andalusia IS still in the WHC Session 2023 connection in the web. I think at this point It should be moved to 2024.

In fact, only 1 new connection because "Memories of recent conflicts" already exist.

Using 2 sources,

https://www.icomos.org/images/DOCUMENTS/World_Heritage/ICOMOS_Discussion_paper_Sites_associated_with_Memories_of_Recent_Conflicts.pdf

and

https://whc.unesco.org/archive/2021/whc21-44com-inf8.2-en.pdf

using appendix E (page 59), it appears that there are in fact 5 sites inscribed concerning "Memories of recent conflicts".

-Auschwitz
-Bikini
-Hiroshima
-Mostar
-Robben Island

This can be put in parallel with the connection "Thanatourist destination" (dark tourism), which I hope one day Chernobyl will join.
Moreover, Bamiyan and Warsaw are not taken into consideration (except in the "Damaged" part), they have criterion VI.

The 2023 session will take place from 10 to 25 September in Riyadh (assuming the Extraodinary Session in a few days approves it).

This document also speaks of 27 nominations for 2023 that were "originally foreseen". I guess that means excluding the 3 emergency nominations.

If the 45th session starts on September 10, any idea of ​​when we will have access to the documents for the draft decisions? Usually it was in May for registrations in July, so now I guess it would be early July, right?

Yes I think so, but the 2022 documents have been ready for a long time. Maybe they will publish these earlier, it's a double package to work through.

I've locked this topic so the discussion can continue at the Combined 2022/2023 topic.
