RELEVANT CLAUSES IN EACH CHARTER
1. ICOMOS Charter - Principles for the Analysis, Conservation and Structural Restoration of
Architectural Heritage - 2003 [French] [Spanish]
1. Value and authenticity of architectural heritage cannot be based on fixed criteria because the
respect due to all cultures also requires that its physical heritage be considered within the
cultural context to which it belongs.
2. The value of architectural heritage is not only in its appearance, but also in the integrity of all its
components as a unique product of the specific building technology of its time. In particular the
removal of the inner structures maintaining only the façades does not fit the conservation
criteria.
2. Declaration of Dresden on the "Reconstruction of Monuments Destroyed by War" (1982)
1. The task of social development after the war, the reconstruction of towns and villages, and the
resulting task of the protection of monuments constitutes a single entity. The spiritual values of
monuments and the desire to acknowledge them both intellectually and politically were the
reasons for initiating their reconstruction.
2. Since men have been influenced by the wartime destruction and by reconstruction work after
the war to regard monuments with increasing interest, in particular as providing evidence of
history, fresh emphasis has been placed on the demand to preserve the original substance of
the monument. By this is meant that substance which, in all those components which make it
worthy of being recognized as a monument, has grown through the ages, and which, by virtue of
its authenticity, confirms the origins of the monument and its historical evolution up to the
present day.
3. Lima Declaration for Disaster Risk Management of Cultural Heritage (2010) [Spanish]
1. Taking into account the richness of our history and the fundamental value of our patrimony for
the identity and culture of our peoples, take steps to prohibit the illicit transfer and trade of
cultural properties of each other and agree to take specific measures to cooperate and promote
the protection of their cultural patrimony, via bilateral and multilateral agreements, training for
the prevention of illegal trade, joint action in third parties and establishing funds for the
protection of archaeological sites and museums, amongst other.
2. Reaffirm that no measures, unilateral or otherwise, should be taken which will affect the
authenticity and the integrity of the cultural, historical and religious heritage of the City of
Jerusalem and of Christian and Muslim Sites therein, in accordance with the Convention for the

Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972 and the relevant provisions on the
protection of cultural heritage of the Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property
in the Event of Armed Conflict of 1954. In this regard, welcome and call for the implementation
of the relevant resolutions on East Jerusalem and the Occupied Palestinian Territory which were
adopted by the Executive Board of UNESCO at its 185th session.
4. Charter for the Conservation of Places of Cultural Heritage Value (ICOMOS New Zealand, text
revised and approved by the Executive Board of ICOMOS NZ on 4 September 2010)
1. The purpose of conservation is to care for places of cultural heritage value, their structures,
materials and cultural meaning. In general, such places have lasting values and can be
appreciated in their own right.
2. The historical setting of a place should be conserved with the place itself. If the historical
setting no longer exists, construction of a setting based on physical and documentary evidence
should be the aim. The extent of the appropriate setting may be affected by constraints other
than heritage value.
3. The site of an historic structure is usually an integral part of its cultural heritage value.
Relocation, however, can be a legitimate part of the conservation process where assessment
shows that:
(i) the site is not of associated value (an exceptional circumstance); or
(ii) relocation is the only means of saving the structure; or
(iii) relocation provides continuity of cultural heritage value.
A new site should provide a setting compatible with cultural heritage value.
