Messager du patrimoine immatériel
no. 8, octobre 2007

  This newsletter was created upon the entry into force of the UNESCO Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage in April 2006.

This issue is dedicated to the second session of the Intergovernmental Committee of the Convention which took place on in Tokyo in September 2007.

The Committee drew up procedures leading to the inscription of items on the Convention’s two lists - the Urgent Safeguarding List and the Representative List – covering timetable for submissions, examination and evaluation. The delegates also discussed the use of the Intangible Heritage Fund, the selection and promotion of best safeguarding practices, and the organisation of international assistance.

The newsletter is available in PDF from the UNESCO website at this external link in French and in English.
