Following 6 months of meetings, statements, global thematic webinars and discussions of the Draft Ministerial Declaration, the 'Kashi Culture Pathway' was released at the Culture Minister's Meeting in Varanasi on 26 August, 2023. As for the G20 SA (2020) and G20 Italy (2021), ICOMOS once again attended the Culture Working Group and Ministerial meetings, providing technical contributions on issues identified within the G20 India agenda.

The United States National Committee of ICOMOS is horrified at the extent of human suffering and the destruction of heritage resulting from the fires in Maui. Our hearts go out to the many people who have lost family and friends in reported numbers that continue to increase.
The heritage value of one town largely destroyed by the fire, Lahaina, is enormous. It was the Capital of the Kingdom of Hawaii for decades and contains many sites sacred to Native Hawaiians.

A selection of European member profiles from the ICOMOS Emerging Professionals Working Group has been featured in a series of interviews coordinated by CHARTER. This new generation of heritage professionals offer a glimpse into their perspectives on the heritage sector as they take their first professional steps.

ICOMOS deplores the further escalation in fighting following the expiry last Saturday of the brokered ceasefire in Sudan. The internal conflict since April has already caused much human suffering – killing and injuring civilians, forcing them to flee, and dragging the country into a humanitarian crisis.

ICOMOS is pleased to introduce you to its newly elected National and International Scientific Committees Presidents.
