The process required for a site to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List is long and complicated. It has four main steps, each of which are a process in themselves: placement on a tentative list, submission of a nomination file, evaluation by an Advisory Body, and a final decision by the World Heritage Committee. The entire process usually takes about a year and a half, but can vary depending of the time taken for each step (World Heritage Ireland, 2010). In order to submit sites to the
INTRODUCTION In 2011, UNESCO Member States adopted the Recommendation on the Historic Urban Landscape (HUL Approach) as part of a shared effort to holistically integrate heritage conservation and sustainable development of historic urban landscapes.

The Philippines has an exceptional history, spanning pre-colonial era to Spanish, American, and Japanese occupations. These periods left their marks in various forms evident in the country’s culture. For example, the City of Vigan in Ilocos Sur, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is one of the few Hispanic towns reflecting a unique fusion of Philippine, Oriental, and colonial European architecture. In a country where history is kept alive, cultural heritage tourism means travelling to experience the places

As most people would agree, the 20th century contained some of the bloodiest and most gruesome events ever recorded in history. Why do words such as Hiroshima, Rwanda, The Final Solution, A Great Leap Forward, The Great Purge and so many more spark such vivid images of blood, torture and murder in our minds? And despite those horrific images, what is it that causes us humans time and time again to commit such crimes against humanity? Those are the kinds of questions Jonathan Glover, a critically

A child born to a mother who can read is 50 percent more possible to stay alive past age five.

I believe that education is the key to a better life; one in which everyone is able to make their dreams come true. However, it is unfortunate that the access to education around the globe is not a given for everyone. This reality is mostly dependent on the home country and gender they are born in which makes the concept of education on an international scope to take in variables under account like these, beside their family’s income or amount of financial support available from the government to

No one should be denied the right of education, they should be able to make the choice of going to school and becoming educated so they will be able to do what they excel at,enjoy doing and in that helping society instead of being burdensome depending on other people to shelter and feed them. To be forced to stay ignorant and not even know the fundamental human rights is a terrible thing to do to a human, unfortunately many are not privy to education
