| Description | I’ve been asked to speak about regional collaboration for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage in South-East Asia, but I will be focusing more on safeguarding as it relates to the 2003 Convention, particularly on processes for ratification, inventory making, and legislative measures that have or have not been taken. It is important to know that there is a broader sense in which safeguarding happens at its best when UNESCO is not needed by which I mean it is happening in the communities, and there is no need for international conventions, laws, and national measures. That is the ideal situation. Unfortunately, that is not the situation of the world today. That is why we have the 2003 Convention, and that is why these measures are being put into place. I am going to try to focus on that. | ||
