We are mourning the loss of our former UNESCO Director General, Federico Mayor! If you want to listen to his voice, the 2009 interview is online in the World Heritage Oral Archives whc.unesco.org/en/oralarchives/

Heritage is our legacy from the past, what we live with today, and what we pass on to future generations. Our cultural and natural heritage are both irreplaceable sources of life and inspiration. What makes the concept of World Heritage exceptional is its universal application. World Heritage sites belong to all the peoples of the world, irrespective of the territory on which they are located.
