UNESCO established ”List of World Heritage in Danger” to combat the possibility of removal of assets on World Heritage List from the list and guarantee better preservation under better circumstances.
Along with reviewing new nomination applications, UNESCO World Heritage Centre also inspects preservation situation of current assets on list on their annual meeting. They provide advice for state parties, and assess the option of relocating the sites at risk of losing their outstanding universal value to List of World Heritage in Danger. Being relocated onto this list means a loss of reputation for such sites and countries.
Being listed on List of World Heritage in Danger is interpreted as loss of reputation by many countries. If the damages to relevant site continue after being relocated to this list, it may be entirely removed from the list. But if the care for the site is increased and it is preserved better, it can be relocated onto normal list.
46 of the 1007 world heritage sites are currently on LIST OF WORLD HERITAGE IN DANGER, and require implementation of an emergency action plan.
