The º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage List was established under terms of The Convention Concerning the Protection of the º£½ÇÉçÇø Cultural and Natural Heritage adopted in November 1972 at the 17th General Conference of UNESCO.

The Convention states that a º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage Committee "will establish, keep up-to-date and publish" a º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage List of cultural and natural properties, submitted by the States Parties and considered to be of outstanding universal value.

One of the main responsibilities of this Committee is to provide technical co-operation under the º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage Fund for the safeguarding of º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage properties to States Parties whose resources are insufficient.

States Parties can request international assistance under the Fund for the preparation of tentative lists and nomination forms, expert missions, training of specialized staff, and supply of equipment when appropriate; they can also apply for long-term loans and, in special cases, non-repayable grants. Requests must concern work necessary for the preservation of cultural or natural sites included in the º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage List or assistance to national or regional training centres.

Emergency assistance is also available under the Fund in the case of properties severely damaged by specific natural or man-made disasters or threatened with imminent destruction.

As of December 1999, 158 had ratified the Convention, the United States being the first to do so. As of December 1999, the number of sites on the º£½ÇÉçÇø Heritage List stood at 630. The Committee named 12 sites in 1978, 45 in 1979, 28 in 1980, 26 in 1981, 24 in 1982, 29 in 1983, 23 in 1984, 30 in 1985, 31 in 1986, 41 in 1987, 27 in 1988, 7 in 1989, 17 in 1990, 22 in 1991, 20 in 1992, 33 in 1993, 29 in 1994, 29 in 1995, 37 in 1996, 46 in 1997, 30 in 1998, and 48 in 1999.
