出於對相關保護工作的關切，正在西班牙塞維亞舉行的世界遺產委員會，決議將喬治亞的「姆茨赫塔歷史古蹟群」列入《瀕危世界遺產清單》。

委員會敦促喬治亞對此遺產地採取一項整合管理計畫，並且詳述與此有關的問題為石材與濕壁畫的嚴重消損，其他遭到關切的問題則包括靠近教堂附近的土地管理，以及所施行的工法讓這些在1994年名列聯合國教科文組織《世界遺產名錄》的建築物喪失了真實性。

這處遺產地由姆茨赫塔－喬治亞的前首府轄內歷史悠久的教堂群所組成，可說是高加索地區中世紀宗教建築所具備的高超工藝的傑出明證。

姆茨赫塔歷史古蹟群是本屆世界遺產委員會所增列的第三處瀕危遺產地，目的是在喚起國際間對於世界遺產地保護工作的支援及協助力量，有關《世界遺產名錄》中各遺產地的保護狀態，將在星期二作摘要報告。

此前，貝里斯堡礁保護體系（貝里斯）與洛斯卡蒂歐司國家公園（哥倫比亞）也被列入《瀕危世界遺產清單》，而巴庫古城與希梵沙宮殿及少女塔（亞塞拜然）則因保護工作獲得進展，被允准從瀕危清單中除名。

Georgia’s Historical Monuments of Mtskheta inscribed on Danger List

Sunday, June 28, 2009

The World Heritage Committee, chaired by María Jesús San Segundo, the Ambassador and Permanent Delegate of Spain to UNESCO, inscribed the Historical Monuments of Mtskheta (Georgia) on the List of World Heritage in Danger because of concerns over their preservation.

The Committee asked Georgia to adopt an integrated management plan for the site and address problems related to the serious deterioration of the stonework and frescoes at the site. Other issues of concern include the management of land near the churches, and loss of authenticity due to work carried out in the buildings, inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in 1994.

The site comprises the historic churches of Mtskheta, former capital of Georgia which represent outstanding examples of the high accomplishments of medieval religious architecture in the Caucasus.

The property is the third to be placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger during this session, which aims to raise international support for the conservation of World Heritage properties. The state of conservation of sites on the World Heritage List will resume on Tuesday.

Belize Barrier Reef Reserve System (Belize) and Los Katios National Park (Colombia) were also placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger while progress in the preservation of Walled City of Baku with the Shirvanshah's Palace and Maiden Tower (Azerbaijan) allowed for its removal from that List.
