  Bureau of the WHC Committee, XVII Session, Paris 21-26 June 1993   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)

ICOMOS reported however, that there is little need to send individual experts or groups of experts on urban heritage, given the comprehensive and carefully reasoned analysis and diagnosis on the conservation problems prepared by the local authorities and group of professionals.
ICOMOS suggested, given the analysis and diagnosis that is already available in Saint Petersburg and other cities in the world, to organize a symposium on heritage conservation in major urban/metropolitan areas.

 The work of ICOMOS
The reference to the Venice Charter is important, because ICOMOS came into existence, fathered by UNESCO, as a result of the Venice Conference and subsequent work promulgating the Charter.
The purposes envisaged were to bring together professionals in the field of architectural conservation to provide an international forum for the exchange of information; to further the highest standards of practice in the conservation of historic monuments and sites and to communicate the principles of the Venice Charter to all those involved in the field.
To begin with, ICOMOS was Europe-centred and concentrated on monuments, but over the years both its concerns and its international forum have broadened greatly.

 ICOMOS ESPAÑA
Presentation: The ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Cultural Routes was officially created in 1998 and its Statues were adopted according to the Eger Principles.
The magnitude of this misconception is evidenced by the fact that even now cultural routes are referred to as “linear cultural landscapes” in official nomenclature, a term which is both an “immobilist” or tradition-bound negation of their true nature and a fundamental conceptual mistake.
It is therefore recommended that the ICOMOS 13th General Assembly recognises that a cultural route is not just a sum of its many elements, i.e., historic towns, cultural landscapes, sites, etc., but really incorporates the intangible historic spirit that ties these elements into a single whole.

This development has led the Hellenic Section of ICOMOS to decide to ask for alternative sites for the construction of the museum.
The selection of another site is imperative not only because of city planning reasons but, mainly, because of the need to protect the Acropolis -a monument of world heritage- and the archaeological findings that are endangered because of the programmed New Museum (multi-function building).

As world-wide non-governmental organisations, ICOMOS and ICOM call on all people, governments, International Organisations and associations to take immediate action to prevent this cultural catastrophe from happening.
