研究了在凯恩斯决议限制各国申报数量的新形势下,中国如何通过跨区域捆绑申报突破限制,并探讨了申报成功后维护共同品牌和数量的管理机制。
Under the new situation of 'Cairns Decision' limitation of the numbers of world heritage declaration for each country, the approach of inter-regional bundled world heritage declaration is created to break through the restrictions, as well as an important way out for China to declare for world heritage. Based on analyzing the characteristics of inter-regional bundled world heritage, this paper discusses the necessity of maintaining the common brand and quantity of world heritage after succeeding in heritage declaration and probes into the management mechanism of inter-regional bundled world heritage, so as to effectively direct healthy operation of this type of world heritage project. To protect the common wealth of human being, China officially signed the treaty 'Convention Concerning the Protection of the Cultural and Natural Heritage' (World Heritage Convention for short) in 1985 and began to declare the world heritages in 1986. The enormous brand and economic effects brought by the declaration produced World Heritage fever which was continuously heating up in China. 'Cairns Decision' passed in the 24th session of the Heritage Committee in 2000 1 , suddenly arose difficulties for world heritage declaration in China. Although the 'Suzhou Decision' adopted by the 28th Session of the Heritage Committee in 2004 made a slight adjustment to 'Cairns Decision', the Committee defined clearly that starting from 2006, each signatory of the Heritage Convention can only have two nominations for the declaration, at least one of which is a natural site, and the total number of items declaration each year can not exceed 45, including previously unlimited item expansion, deferral, inter-national, supplementary material. It means that China will take 35 years to submit all the 35 sites of Chinese cultural heritages, including the Grant Canal, listed in the 'China's Heritage Tentative List' published by China's State Administration of Cultural Heritage in 2006. Therefore, the progress of Heritage declaration in China is severely constrained. Under such new circumstances, some innovative approaches for world heritage declaration such as the joint declaration, extension declaration and binding declaration are created to strengthen competitive force and break through the restrictions and advocated by the United Nations 1 The 'Cairns Decision' provides that: the nomination number each year for the country which has the Heritage site in the list is limited to 1 and other countries can annually report 2 to 3 items. Heritage Committee. Based on analysis of the characteristics of bundling world heritage declaration, under the premise of maintaining common brand and quantity after succeeding in heritage declaration, this paper discusses some measures of how to construct management mechanism of inter-regional bundled world heritage in China.
