Case studies carried out within the 'Our Common Dignity Initiative 2011-2016 Initiative: Rights-Based Approaches in World Heritage'

The objective of the Our Common Dignity initiative has been to contribute towards building awareness of rights issues in World Heritage and heritage management, to promote ‘good practice’ approaches to rights and their enabling conditions, and to develop and recommend relevant tools and guidelines in World Heritage, from tentative list nomination through to management. This document summarizes some of the independent case studies initiated by ICOMOS Norway and its partners. The purpose of presenting these case studies now is to illustrate rights issues being discussed in various geo-cultural regions.
