Abstract

On 17 December 1975, the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage (WHC) entered into force.1 The text, which had been adopted just over three years previously at the General Assembly of UNESCO, and shortly after the United Nations Conference on the Human Environment held in Stockholm, was the result of campaigns by UNESCO and IUCN.
