Abstract: The 1972 World Heritage Convention is a key international treaty aimed at protecting cultural and natural heritage of universal value. This framework includes the Budapest Declaration, emphasizing global responsibility for heritage preservation, and the Convention itself, which outlines principles for identifying and safeguarding World Heritage sites. The Operational Guidelines detail procedures for site management, while the Rules of Procedure govern the Intergovernmental Committee and General Assembly. The Financial Regulations manage funds for conservation efforts. Together, these documents, under the United Nations, foster international cooperation to preserve cultural and natural heritage for future generations.
