Integrity and/or authenticity<br />
To be deemed of outstanding universal value a property must meet the conditions on integrity and/<br />
or authenticity as per the Nara Document on Authenticity. The Inspectorate is very demanding in<br />
this respect. For cultural sites this would involve a clear and independently substantiated justification<br />
of any 'intervention' by way of, for example, conservation/restoration or adaptation.<br />
On the natural side likely issues may be incursion of human influence e.g. development, tourism,<br />
pollution, exotic species, etc.<br />
Protection and <strong>Management</strong><br />
There must be adequate protection and management systems to ensure safeguarding of properties.<br />
Very high standards are required in this area. The Inspectorate looks closely at legal framework,<br />
designation, ownership, commitment of resources, management philosophy, effectiveness of on-the-<br />
ground measures and public access.<br />
