In 2016, the UNESCO Chair team in Cultural Property Protection and Peace at Newcastle University, set out to explore what scope there might be for World Heritage Sites to do more to support UNESCO’s founding raison d’être, of contributing to world peace - and for World Heritage Sites ultimately to become ‘Ambassadors for Peace’. This Report sets out the work undertaken by the team in relation to this and presents a series of conclusions and recommendations regarding how this work might now be taken forward.
