As the World Heritage Convention enters its 50th year, questions
are being raised about its failures and successes. This topical
book draws together perspectives across law and heritage research
to examine the Convention and its implementation through the novel
lens of compliance. The book challenges the widely held view that
managing the 'world's heritage' is a non-regulatory,
incentive-based task with limited sanctioning options. Combining
theoretical perspectives with deep technical analysis and
historical investigation, the book tackles the compliance question
through an examination of 12 diverse cases. Analysing past World
Heritage properties like the Arabian Oryx Sanctuary (Oman) and
Dresden Elbe Valley (Germany), as well as at-risk properties, like
the Great Barrier Reef (Australia), Group of Monuments at Hampi
(India) and Everglades National Park (United States), chapters
trace the evolution and application of key non-compliance
mechanisms like Reactive Monitoring, the In Danger List, and the
Deletion procedure. In so doing, this book provides a comprehensive
understanding of the Convention's compliance architecture and the
tools available to respond to instances of non-compliance.
Illustrating how an improved compliance system is a critical
component of a functioning and legitimate World Heritage regime,
this book provides an invaluable resource to heritage and
environmental policymakers and organisations looking to understand
obligations under the Convention, as well as students and scholars
coming to terms with the impact of the regime.
