III his article the author discusses the proposal submitted by the Director General of UNESCO at the last XiVI Session of General Meeting with the aim to regulate at an international level the problems connected with protection of cultural property having all-human importance. The proposal under discussion was based on a report worked out by a staff of experts stating that there exists a certain category of monuments, assemblies and historical sites for whose protection (in view of their immense value for the mankind and financial burdens of preservation) should be made responsible not only the countries where the above properties are located, but the international community as well. It seems, therefore, to be highly desirable that a convention be signed enabling to establish an international organization ready to save this cultural property in cases of sudden dangers. It has also been suggested that the intended new organization should act within the UNESCO, nevertheless, it should be provided with its own executive body and an Advisory Council composed of representatives of non-governmental international organizations like ICOM, ICOMOS, the Research Centre, Rome and s.o., and besides of a certain number of personally invited specialists. This new organization should, of course, be provided with adequate funds. All the help needed for endangered cultural property would be allocated on a basis of proposal submitted by a country concerned but the allocations should be made cl ©pending upon a considerable share of country wishing to save her national heritage. It is foreseen that the draft of the said convention after discussion and its adopting by a Committee of Experts will be ready to be passed at the XIVIII Session of General Meeting to be held in October- -November, 1972.
