Hi Michel,
I have my opinion (bad) on the juridical concept behind "cultural heritage" because I do not think it manages to fully cover the idea behind it in communities such as the indigenous communities. However, it is today the only feasible way to seek "protection", visibility and acknowledgement from the society, so more and more we will see this kind of lists increasing. Hopefully this will work to at least stop the indiscriminate explotaition that some do of their cultural production.
Thanks for pointing this out

Dear Carolina,
I wonder if you had any comment on this? Is this a good thing?
Michel
