Abstract

The concept of outstanding universal value, which emerged with the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, is one of the most important prerequisites for the heritages that are candidates for the UNESCO World Heritage List. However, efforts to decide how this prerequisite should be applied in practice could only come to a conclusion after many years of discussions. The definition of the concept of outstanding universal value was made as a result of the discussions that lasted until 2005. However, although it was put forward in theory, there was a transition period in its implementation within the scope of the listing process and 2009 became a breaking point in how the concept should be handled in practice.

ÜSTÜN EVRENSEL DEĞER KAVRAMININ UYGULANABİLİRLİĞİNE YÖNELİK ÇABALAR

Abstract

Dünya Kültürel ve Doğal Mirasının Korunmasına Dair Sözleşme ile ortaya çıkan üstün evrensel değer kavramı, UNESCO Dünya Miras Listesi’ne aday olan miraslara ilişkin en önemli ön koşullardan birisidir. Fakat bu ön koşulun pratikte ne şekilde uygulanacağının kararlaştırılmasına yönelik çabalar, ancak uzun yıllar boyunca süren tartışmalar sonrasında bir sonuca ulaştırılabilmiştir. Üstün evrensel değer kavramının tanımı, 2005 yılına kadar süren tartışmalar sonucunda yapılmıştır. Ancak teoride ortaya konulmuş olsa da Listeye yönelik uygulanmasında bir geçiş dönemi yaşanmış ve 2009 yılı, kavramın pratikte nasıl ele alınması gerektiğine dair bir kırılma noktası olmuştur.
