World Forum Resolution 5 - Protection of landmarks of human heritage was a resolution founding the International Council for the Preservation of Human Heritrage (ICPHH). It works under the Committee of Science and Education (SCE) of the World Forum and mainly features nations in its roster of members, which are also part of the SCE. The resolution was adopted at the end of 2018 with 67% approval from the Assembly after minor discussions on editorial changes and a potential bias of the ICPHH and its categorisation of locations as human heritage sites.[1]
