One year after the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding between ICOMOS and the United Cites and Local Governments (UCLG), the partnership
between the 2 international organisations remains strong, emphasizing the role of culture and heritage professionals as important actors to create sustainable cities and territories.
ICOMOS took part in this year's European Week of Regions and Cities with two side events respectively on 12 and 14 October 2022: #QualityforHeritage: Reconstructing Ukraine’s cultural heritage with European Quality Principles and ICOMOS European Quality Principles: Ensuring #QualityforHeritage through sustainable solutions.
The European Chemicals Agency's (ECHA) plan to include lead in the list of substances subject to authorisation (appendix XIV of the REACH Regulation) would have a major impact on a substantial part of the cultural heritage sector – and in particular on the art of stained glass and the restoration of Europe’s vast heritage of historic medieval to modern stained glass. Read the joint statement by ICOMOS, ICOM, E.C.C.O., ICOMOS-Corpus Vitrearum et ICOM-Glass.
The Statutes of ICOMOS allow the Board to invite experts to attend the meetings of the Board in a non-voting advisory capacity, in line with the agenda (Article 10 a.).
In order to achieve a more balanced representation of all regions of the world within the Board, and in particular in order to benefit from their expertise on heritage and professionals in the Middle East and in Africa, the Board has invited Dana Firas (ICOMOS Jordan), Jeanine Abdul Massih (ICOMOS Lebanon) and Chilangwa Chaiwa (Zambia) to join it until the next Triennial General Assembly in 2023 as invited experts.
Update: Read the new report of the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Ms Karima Bennoune, on cultural rights and climate change, at this page and on the website of the mandate. The report makes reference to ICOMOS’s submission to the call for inputs for the report.
