项目摘要

This project will evaluate the implementation of the 1972 UNESCO Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (the Convention) in ten countries (Australia, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland, Spain, the UK and the USA). It will assess its impact on national laws and its effectiveness in protecting World Heritage Sites; promoting effective custodianship of those Sites for the benefit of future generations by developing a set of minimum legal standards and policies, which should become a crucial reference point for local authorities, governments and stakeholders. The Convention recognises that States have a duty to protect their cultural heritage with the dual aim to care for the past of humankind and improve the wellbeing of local communities. There are 704 Cultural World Heritage Sites, most of them in developed countries. These are under different man-made threats such as pressure to build modern infrastructure, urban development, privatisation, unsustainable tourism, poor management or inadequate administrative/legislative provisions. For example the Dresden Valley (Germany) Cultural World Heritage Site was delisted in 2009 because of the construction of a four-lane bridge that spoiled its Outstanding Universal Value. The World Heritage Committee recently found that most current management systems and protection arrangements in Western Europe need improvement and highlighted a need to give full information on legislation and other aspects of protection in the different countries party to the Convention (World Heritage Report 20,61;62). The research will address these problems by evaluating the efficiency of national laws in the protection of World Heritage Sites through a critical comparison of ten legal systems and two questions that will cross disciplines and allow for a detailed and sustained engagement with a historical and cultural perspective. It will provide an analysis of the legal discourse of the Convention at both international and national level in order to understand the difficulty of developing a coherent definition of sites of Outstanding Universal Value. Secondly, it will offer a critical evaluation of national legal instruments and policies that protect those sites in order to shape perspectives for their future management and to enhance their stewardship through long term strategic planning. This will be achieved through an assessment of the indeterminate criteria of 'appropriateness' found in Art. 5 of the Convention; an evaluation of national legal, administrative and financial measures necessary for the protection, conservation and rehabilitation of those Sites; it will look at the different regimes of ownership and finally it will examine the level of integrated management policy between the different level of authorities. The findings from this project will enhance the stewardship of World Heritage Sites for the benefit of future generations and local communities by providing a clear understanding of the values behind cultural heritage laws and by developing long term legal/policy strategic planning for local authorities, governments and international agencies whether public, private or voluntary (local authorities, Department of Culture, Media and Sport, English Heritage, National Trust). The project will include a workshop, a conference, and the creation of a network on the protection of the cultural heritage between international leading scholars and relevant stakeholders, which will long outlast the duration of the funding requested here. The results will be published in a book and findings will be disseminated amongst policy makers in the relevant countries through a policy document. Dissemination will also be facilitated through The Heritage Innovation Network at Kent (THINK) at the University of Kent which will organise events with local schools and museums promoting the protection of cultural heritage.

该项目将评估1972年教科文组织《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》（《公约》）在10个国家（澳大利亚、中国、法国、德国、意大利、日本、瑞士、西班牙、联合王国和美国）的执行情况。它将评估其对国家法律的影响及其在保护世界遗产地方面的效力;通过制定一套最低限度的法律的标准和政策，促进对这些遗址的有效监管，以造福子孙后代，这些标准和政策应成为地方当局、政府和利益攸关方的重要参考点。《公约》承认，各国有义务保护其文化遗产，其双重目的是关心人类的过去和改善当地社区的福祉。世界文化遗产共有704处，其中大部分位于发达国家。这些国家面临着各种人为的威胁，如建设现代化基础设施的压力、城市发展、私有化、不可持续的旅游业、管理不善或行政/立法规定不足。例如，德累斯顿山谷（德国）的世界文化遗产在2009年被除名，因为一座四车道的桥梁的建设破坏了其突出的普遍价值。世界遗产委员会最近发现，西欧的大多数现行管理制度和保护安排需要改进，并强调有必要提供有关公约缔约国立法和其他保护方面的充分信息（《世界遗产报告》20、61;62）。该研究将通过对十个法律的体系和两个跨学科问题进行批判性比较，评估国家法律在保护世界遗产地方面的效率，从而解决这些问题，并允许从历史和文化角度进行详细和持续的参与。它将分析国际和国家一级对《公约》的法律的论述，以了解为具有突出普遍价值的遗址制定一个连贯一致的定义的困难。第二，它将对保护这些遗址的国家法律的文书和政策进行严格的评价，以便为这些遗址的未来管理确定前景，并通过长期战略规划加强对这些遗址的管理。这将通过评估《公约》第5条中的“适当性”的不确定标准来实现;评估保护、养护和恢复这些遗址所需的国家法律的、行政和财政措施;审查不同的所有权制度，最后审查不同级别当局之间的综合管理政策水平。该项目的研究结果将使人们清楚地了解文化遗产法背后的价值，并为地方当局、政府和公共、私人或志愿国际机构制定长期的法律的/政策战略规划，从而加强对世界遗产地的管理，造福子孙后代和当地社区（地方当局，文化，媒体和体育部，英国遗产，国家信托）。该项目将包括一个讲习班、一次会议，以及在国际知名学者和相关利益攸关方之间建立一个保护文化遗产的网络，其持续时间将超过这里所要求的资金期限。调查结果将出版成书，调查结果将通过一份政策文件在有关国家的决策者中传播。还将通过肯特大学的肯特遗产创新网络（THINK）促进传播，该网络将与当地学校和博物馆组织促进文化遗产保护的活动。
