It provides practical support in arranging and hosting UNESCO missions, and works closely with those UK World Heritage Sites that have specific issues and challenges, particularly around development activity. It submits documents and notifications on the UK World Heritage Sites at the request of the World Heritage Centre and Committee. It also represents the UK’s World Heritage Sites with the World Heritage Centre and its advisory bodies, and provides representation at the World Heritage Committee and World Heritage General Assembly.</p> more like this
