Despite the development of an international<BR/>framework for the preservation of world heritage (The World Heritage Convention) and emergence of a comprehensive body of legal principles (ICOMOS)70, UNESCO remains,<BR/>in Jerusalem, largely dependent on the goodwill of Israel and its ally the US, with regards<BR/>to compliance and operational authority. There simply remains no other effectual means<BR/>of enforcing regulations or implementing strategic policy without the co-operation of the<BR/>Israeli government, which is unlikely to endorse any actions which it perceives as<BR/>undermining the Jewishness of the city or its political claims to it. The example of<BR/>Kosovo is instructive here where within the post-war state vacuum of Kosovo, UNESCO<BR/>functioned with relative freedom and effectiveness. The proposed Old City regime<BR/>would need to obtain agreement of the two parties – Israel, Palestine, and possibly Jordan<BR/>– to accept the more universalistic and inclusive benchmarks of UNESCO pertaining to<BR/>excavation and preservation so that such work can be carried out effectively and within<BR/>the context of an overall plan.<BR/>6.2. UNESCO and an Old City regime<BR/>Within the parameters set out above, UNESCO could play an important role in the<BR/>following areas:<BR/> Supervision of all Archaeological Excavations – to help overcome mutual<BR/>communal suspicion; to safeguard international excavation standards and protect<BR/>newly uncovered historical artifacts. UNESCO would consult extensively with the<BR/>Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) and the Department of Islamic Archaeology of<BR/>the Jordanian Awqaf Administration.<BR/> Advisory Role in the Protection of the Holy Sites. This would not be an<BR/>international policing role, but more as a body with expertise in post-conflict<BR/>situations how to maintain access to and preserve the fabric to the holy sites under<BR/>a proposed Old City Administration.<BR/> Fostering Stronger Local Partnerships – UNESCO could take a lead role in<BR/>developing a network of stakeholders, including religious authorities, businesses,<BR/>cultural service organizations, education and research establishments, NGO’s and<BR/>a cross section of the local inhabitants. An integrated cultural heritage master plan would therefore emerge from a partnership and dialogue between these<BR/>stakeholders.<BR/> Establishment of an Executive Body to oversee Rehabilitation Plans – UNESCO<BR/>could oversee the administration and running of the comprehensive restoration<BR/>plan for the Old City balancing Palestinian and Israeli interests. The body would<BR/>comprise internationals and experts from both communities.<BR/> Advisory role on Social Rehabilitation – Drawing on UNESCO projects in<BR/>Aleppo and Fez, the link between heritage preservation with urban revitalization<BR/>has been established as crucial. UNESCO’s expertise could be employed to advise<BR/>on how to combine cultural restoration and the improvement of urban amenities<BR/>such as housing, sanitation and water supply.<BR/> Advisory role in the development of Cultural Tourism – The International Cultural<BR/>Tourism Charter (ICOMOS 1999) provides important guidelines and principles<BR/>facilitating the promotion of cultural tourism in the context of preservation and<BR/>conservation. These could be employed not only for cultural tourism initiatives<BR/>but also allow host communities to participate and benefit from their historic<BR/>surroundings.71<BR/> UNESCO and Heritage Education- UNESCO’s world heritage mission<BR/>objectives72 indicate the importance placed upon educational values in its work.<BR/>These could be developed through initiatives in Jerusalem with special emphasis<BR/>given to youth. The national curricula of both communities could be revised to<BR/>contain appropriate materials on the cultural history of the Old City and<BR/>promoting a shared understanding of the diverse history of the city in general.<BR/> Advisory role in Reconciliation and Mediation - UNESCO has expertise in<BR/>restoration projects that provide spaces to bridge religious and cultural divides,<BR/>through shared work schemes and local partnerships.73 The implementation of a<BR/>comprehensive plan for the Old City could incorporate this expertise and devise<BR/>appropriate activities".<BR/><BR/>from, <BR/>International Norms And The Preservation of Culture<BR/>and Heritage in the Old City of Jerusalem:<BR/>A study of the role of UNESCOAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3327205924280232885.post-52085862474634626922008-12-14T22:04:00.000-08:002008-12-14T22:04:00.000-08:00UNESCO.Clever idea.UNESCO.<BR/>Clever idea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
