WORLD HERITAGE – NORDIC COUNTRIES Photo by ZENISK Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural heritage and our natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) seeks to encourage the identification, protection and preservation of cultural and natural heritage around the world considered to be of outstanding value to humanity. This is embodied in an international treaty called the Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, adopted by UNESCO in 1972. The United Nations Postal Administration has chosen five Nordic countries, plus the Struve Geodetic Arc, for this year’s stamp issue. COMMEMORATIVE STAMPS On 5 May 2011, the United Nations Postal Administration (UNPA) will issue a set of commemorative stamps on the theme “World Heritage—Nordic Countries” which includes five Nordic countries plus the Struve Geodetic Arc.
