Busan welcomes the World Heritage Committee

 The 48th session of the World Heritage Committee will take place from July 19 to 29 at BEXCO. This marks the first time Korea has hosted the committee since joining the World Heritage Convention in 1988. Around 3,000 cultural heritage officials from member states will be in attendance.The WHC oversees the inscription of properties to the World Heritage List and promotes their conservation. Sites earn designation by having "outstanding universal value."The event comes as Busan seeks UNESCO World Heritage inscription for its "Sites of the Wartime Capital." From government buildings to refugee settlements, the sites are remnants of the city's role sustaining the national government during the Korean War. The committee session, along with the Busan Special Pavilion exhibition, is expected to draw greater international attention to these sites and what they represent.※ The 48th session of the World Heritage Committee◎ Website: Click<Today's Vocabulary - 오늘의 단어>heritage: 유산 committee: 위원회 host: 주최하다 attendance: 참석 refugee: 피난민 settlement: 정착 remnant: 잔해Editor: Song SoomiCopy Editors: Ryu Hyoseung, Anton J.
