UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists

Distribution by countries
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage are established byUNESCO aiming to
ensure the better protection of importantintangible cultural heritagesworldwide and
the awareness of their significance.
[1]
Through a compendium of the different oral
and intangible treasures of humankind worldwide, the program aims to draw
attention to the importance of safeguarding intangible heritage, which has been
identified by UNESCO as an essential component and a repository of cultural
diversity and creative expression.
[2][3]
The programme currently compiles two lists. The longer Representative List of the
Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity comprises cultural "practices and
expressions [that] help demonstrate the diversity of this heritage and raise
awareness about its importance." The shorter List of Intangible Cultural Heritage
in Need of Urgent Safeguarding is composed of those cultural elements that
concerned communities and countries consider require urgent measures to keep
them alive.
[4][5]
In 2013, four elements were inscribed on the List Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding, which helps States Parties mobilize
international cooperation and assistance to ensure the transmission of this heritage with the participation of the concerned communities. The Urgent
Safeguarding List now numbers 35 elements. The Committee also inscribed 25 elements on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of
Humanity, which serves to raise awareness of intangible heritage and provide recognition to communities traditions and know-how that reflect their
cultural diversity. The List does not attribute or recognize any standard of excellence or exclusivity. Four of the 158 States Parties to the convention
Ethiopia, the Republic of Macedonia, Niger and Ukraine had their first inscriptions on that List, which now totals 281 elements.

Proclaimed masterpieces [edit]
The Lists of Intangible Cultural Heritage were established in 2008, when the Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage took
effect.
[218]
Prior to this, a project known as the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity has already been active in recognizing the
value of intangibles such as tradition, custom and cultural spaces and the local actors who sustain these forms of cultural expressions through a
Proclamation.
[2]
Identification of the Masterpieces also entails the commitment of states to promote and safeguard these treasures, while UNESCO
finances plans for their conservation.
[2]
Started in 2001 and held biennially until 2005, a total of three Proclamations occurred, encompassing 90 forms
of intangible heritage around the world.
[3]
The 90 previously proclaimed Masterpieces have been incorporated into theRepresentative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as its
first entries, to be known as elements.
[1][219]
Subsequent elements will be added following the assessment of nominations submitted by national
governments acceding to the UNESCO Convention, termed as member states, who are each allowed to submit a single candidature file, in addition to
multi-national candidatures. A panel of experts in intangible heritage and an appointed body, known as the Intergovernmental Committee for the
Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage, then examine each of the nominations before officially inscribing the candidates as elements on the
List.
[220]
