Polish city of Cracow to host 2017 World Heritage Committee session

Polish city of Kraków to host 2017 World Heritage Committee session

The 40^th Committee session will resume in Paris in October to examine outstanding issues that could not be discussed over the past seven days. The World Heritage Committee adjourned its work three days before schedule due to the United Nations security protocol put in place following the events that occurred in Turkey on 15 July.

Rather ironically on the agenda will be adding the Białowieża Forest (just the bit in Poland) to the World Heritage in Danger List because the present government is cutting it down.
