UNESCO advisory council to conduct September field survey for Mrauk-U World Heritage bid

via Burma News Internaitional, 09 June 2022: Mrauk-U’s inspection for Unesco World Heritage is set for November.

The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) will conduct a field survey of Mrauk-U in September, following Myanmar’s December 2021 submission of a final proposal seeking to designate the ancient Arakanese city as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The ICOMOS, which is one of the formal advisory bodies to UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee, will compare the proposal with the situation on the ground, said Daw Khin Than, chairperson of the Mrauk-U Cultural Heritage Conservation Association.
