Each Party will take appropriate steps to protect and preserve the cultural heritage of all national, religious, or ethnic groups (hereinafter referred to as “Groups”) who reside or resided in its territory and were such victims of the Second World War.

The Parties shall cooperate in identifying lists of appropriate items falling within the scope of paragraph 1, particularly those which are in danger of deterioration or destruction. Such lists may be published jointly or by either Party. 175
3. Each Party will ensure that there is no discrimination, in form or in fact, against the cultural heritage of any groups or against the nationals of the other Party in the scope and application of its laws and regulations concerning: the protection and preservation of their cultural heritage; the right to contribute to the protection and preservation of their cultural heritage; and public access thereto. 4. In cases where the authorities and organizations concerned state that the Groups are unable, on their own, to ensure adequate protection and preservation of their cultural heritage, each Party shall take special steps to ensure such protection and preservation within its territory and shall invite the cooperation of the other Party and its nationals where assistance is required for this purpose. 5. Properties referred to in paragraph 4 that are of special significance shall be designated in a list of properties, publicly announced and communicated to appropriate local agencies. Properties so designated shall be protected, preserved, and marked with a special plaque. Public access thereto shall be assured. The Commission referred to in paragraph 6 may designate properties for inclusion in the list at any time, which list will be communicated to the Parties through Diplomatic and other channels, as appropriate. 6. (A) A Joint Cultural Heritage Commission is hereby established to oversee the execution of the Agreement. Each Party shall appoint one or more member(s) to the Commission who may be assisted by alternates or advisers. Decisions of the Commission shall require the assent of the members of both Parties. The Parties shall cooperate in supplying the Commission with access to properties and information necessary for the execution of its responsibilities. (B) The Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad shall be the Executive Agent for implementing this Agreement on the side of the United States of America.
