UNESCO annually declares certain places as heritage sites to protect natural sites, heritage buildings with their historical uniqueness. It stipulates that it is the duty of human society to protect it from any harm.
The war between Russia and Ukraine has been going on since February last year. In this case, beyond the wars, the United Nations cultural agency UNESCO has decided to add the port city of Odessa in the Black Sea region of Ukraine to the list of World Heritage Sites.
As many of Ukraine’s cities face the threat of destruction, UNESCO has given all humanity the duty to protect the site’s outstanding global value by declaring its main city a heritage site. It is hoped that at least in this city there will be peace.
6 of the 21 member countries of UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee voted in favor. Both countries protested. Another 14 countries abstained. Russia has repeatedly tried to delay the vote and delay the move to recognize the site’s ‘outstanding universal value’. But eventually declared a heritage site.
UNESCO Director General Audrey Azoulay said the city must be protected from further destruction while the war continues. He said this is one of the efforts for that. Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy praised the decision.
And he has been asking for help since October last year to protect the city from Russian bombing. Now Odessa has got UNESCO protection. He also said that he would like to thank the countries that have helped to protect this place.
According to reports, this site On the List of World Heritage in Danger is included. This will allow Ukraine to receive enhanced technical and financial support from the international community to protect the site, a UNESCO report said.
