As the expert scientific body of ICOMOS for Cultural Landscapes
The ISCCL responds to the needs of the World Heritage Committee of UNESCO
As an Advisory Body to the World Heritage Convention, ICOMOS asks the ISCCL to provide expert information and evaluations:
- complete desk reviews of sites nominated to the World Heritage List,
- engage in site visits as necessary to review nominations and/or
- prepare advisory reports to the World Heritage Committee.
