CONVENTION FOR THE SAFEGUARDING OF THE INTANGIBLE CULTURAL HERITAGE
TRANSVERSAL ISSUES ARISING IN THE EVALUATION AND EXAMINATION OF NOMINATIONS, PROPOSALS AND REQUESTS

This document provides an index, topic by topic, to the issues previously addressed in the reports of those two bodies and in the decisions of the Committee itself.
