Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage
Arab Regional Centre for World Heritage
Overview
ARC-WH was established in 2012 as an initiative from the Kingdom of Bahrain to serve 19 Arab State Parties and to work closely with UNESCO to strengthen the implementation of the 1972 World Heritage Convention; an agreement dedicated to protecting and promoting the cultural and natural heritage of all the nations of the world.
ARC-WH takes an integrated approach to safeguarding the region’s unique heritage. In addition to reinforcing the implementation of the World Heritage Convention in the Arab States, ARC-WH is committed to raising public awareness of cultural and natural heritage in the region and reaching out to Arab youth to support the Convention. ARC-WH also plays a role in supporting UNESCO in its efforts to contribute to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in alignment with Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030.
