An application for inclusion on the World Heritage List shall be made by the State in whose territory the place is located, the decision to register shall be taken by the World Heritage Committee after consulting the advisory organisations ICOMOS (International Council for the Conservation of Monuments) or the IUCN (International Union for the Conservation of Nature).
