教科文组织的“世界记忆”计划促进作为全人类共同遗产的世界重要文献的保存、普及和公众意识。2015年,《南京大屠杀档案》被列入《世界记忆名录》,反映了冷战后时代对战争和暴行记忆的日益全球化的关注。然而,它重新点燃了日本和中国之间的紧张关系,导致联合国教科文组织面临巨大压力,要求其改革有争议遗产的选择程序。本文从英国学派的角度探讨了联合国教科文组织在促进全球文献遗产方面所遇到的局限。2015年的争议反映了国际关系中的一个重要问题,即推动人权和共同遗产规范性议程的团结主义力量与维护主权和将遗产归还给各国的多元主义力量之间存在内在紧张关系。
UNESCO's ‘Memory of the World’ Programme promotes the preservation, universal access and public awareness of the world's significant documents as the common heritage of all humankind. The inscription of the ‘Documents of Nanjing Massacre’ into the ‘Memory of the World’ Register in 2015 reflects an increasingly globalised concern in the post–Cold War era over the remembrance of war and atrocity. Yet it has reignited the tension between Japan and China, resulting in strong pressure on UNESCO to reform its selection process for contested heritage. This paper addresses the limitations encountered by UNESCO in pursuing the promotion of global documentary heritage from an English School perspective. The 2015 controversy is relevant and indicative to an important question of International Relations on an inherent tension between the solidarist forces of promoting a normative agenda on human rights and common heritage and the pluralist pull of maintaining sovereignty and bringing heritage back to the hands of states.
