On 2 July 2004 a session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held in Suzhou (China) decided to include Mużakowski Park (Muskauer Park) onto the UNESCO World Heritage List. The early nineteenth-century Mużakowski Park has an area of more than 700 hectares, located on both sides of the Polish-German frontier; on the Polish side it is situated in the town of Łęknica (528 hectares), and on the German side – in Bad Muskau (206 hectares). The Polish part of the park is administered by the National Centre for Studies and Documentation of Historical Monuments in Warsaw. The park was established by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau, who transformed his family residence into a sprawling park maintained in the landscape style. The realisation of the project, carried out in 1830-1845, involved Karl Friedrich Schindler, author of redesigning the park buildings, the painter August Schirmer, the architect John Adey Repton, and the gardener Jacob Heinrich Herder. The composition, inscribed into the natural interior of the river valley of the Nysa Łużycka, included the residence on the left bank of the Nysa, and the unrestrained lay out of a landscape park. The Mużakowski Park is the only European example of close inter-state cooperation undertaken for the sake of protecting and conserving a cultural landscape.

The 33rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee held on 22-30 June 2009 in Seville added 13 new entries to the World Heritage List. The main event, which dominated the session, was the deletion from the List of the Dresden Elbe valley, included in 2004 as a cultural landscape. The decision was motivated by the construction of a four-lane bridge in the very heart of the valley. At present, after this year’s session, the World Heritage List contains 890 entries.

A General Assembly of the States Parties to the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage took place at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on 23-28 October. Its participants meet every two years at a UNESCO General Assembly to make decisions concerning the dues for the World Heritage Fund and to elect new members of the World Heritage Committee. The General Assembly passed a resolution introducing changes into the Committee voting system. This year’ s election was held in accordance with the newly accepted principles. The Committee is now composed of 12 new countries: the United Arab Emirates, the Russian Federation, Switzerland, France, Cambodia, the Republic of South Africa, Thailand, Estonia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Mali and Mexico. For the duration of a mandate, which lasts for a maximum of six years, the Committee members, cooperating with advisory organisations and the World Heritage Centre, monitor the state of sites on the World Heritage List and decide about new entries. The General Assembly also discussed the future of the UNESCO World Heritage Convention in connection with its coming 40th anniversary and the challenges stemming from its global character. It is worth stressing that for the first time in the history of the Convention the debate about its future involved all the states which had signed it and which wish to have impact upon its progress.
