Forty-five new sites have been proposed for inclusion on UNESCO's World Heritage List this year, including 32 cultural sites. UNESCO's World Heritage Committee will meet in New Zealand at the end of June to decide which of these sites will join the 830 sites already on the World Heritage List. The cultural sites will be assessed by the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS), with additional input into conservation techniques and training from the International Centre for the Study of the Preservation and Conservation of Cultural Heritage (ICCROM).
