The listing
of Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine Ruins as a World Heritage property is not our final
objective. With the listing, a new phase of the Iwami Ginzan Silver Mine's history
will begin.
With successful listing, every six years reports will be made on the
state of conservation, and we will openly accept revisions made through examinations.
The above motions are a form of monitoring. If for any reason the
condition of the property deteriorates, problems arise or it is seen that improvement
is necessary, we must accept these directions, warnings, orders for improvement
etc. If there is still no improvement the site will be designated as a 'World
Heritage in Danger' Property- this is seen as a state of discredit.
We strongly recognize that World Heritage is "invaluable, irreplaceable,
and properties that must be transferred to future generations, common to mankind,
surpass national boarders and race, and properties that need international co-operation
in order to be preserved".
We will carry out the responsibility of preservation, endeavor for effective
utilization and pass this honor to future generations. |
