In 1972 the international community agreed that some places — the Pyramids, the Great Wall, the Galapagos — were the patrimony of all humanity, not just the states that happened to administer them. The agreement did something durable. Key sections include: World Heritage. UNESCO, since 1972; Opening The list.; Chapter I Origins of the Convention.; Chapter II The criteria.; Chapter III How sites get listed.; Chapter IV Geographic distribution.; Chapter V Iconic listings.; Chapter VI The great natural sites.; Chapter VII Mixed sites and cultural landscapes.; Chapter VIII In Danger..
