The State Of Conservation: An Authority Of The Borobudur Conservation Center Upon The Preservation Of The Temple

From The Head Of The Borobudur Conservation Center, Drs. Marsis Sutopo, M.Si. The Ratification of Borobudur Temple as The World Heritage walk through a very lengthy process. After going through many years of preparation, Borobudur the temple was proposed by the Government of Indonesia via dossier (proposal document) dated September 21st 1990. The UNESCO gave formal approval (No.592 Yr. 1991), the Borobudur Temple as World Heritage. As The World Heritage, Borobudur has the name Borobudur Temple Compounds, which is a unity between Borobudur the temple, Pawon Temple, Mendut Temple, to Borobudur the Region consisting of Zone 1 and Zone 2 Borobudur, Zone 1 Pawon and Mendut, Zone 3, Zone 4 and Zone 5.

Till the write of this post, The Cultural Heritage belonging to the Indonesian people which has been approved as World Heritage by the UNESCO, among others; The Candi Borobudur (1991), The Candi Prambanan (1991), The Manusia Purba Sangiran Site (1992), and The Subak Bali (2012). While The Natural Heritage which has been approved by the UNESCO as World Heritage, among others; The Tropical Rainforest of Sumatra, The Ujung Kulon National Park, The Komodo National Park, The Gunung Lorentz National Park of Irian Jaya. While the works (things) &/ heritage (not-things) belonging to the Indonesian people that got recognition as the World Heritage, among others; Keris, Batik, Wayang, Saman dance, Angklung, and Noken.

Consequence of the recognition of Borobudur Temple as The World Heritage can be seen from two sides, from the UNESCO and the Government of Indonesia. The UNESCO has the authority to conduct monitoring, reactive monitoring, evaluation, making a list of heritage in danger, and delete a World Heritage from the list. However, UNESCO also has an obligation to provide financial assistance and technical experts to help the preserve of World Heritage. Meanwhile, the Indonesian government also has an obligation, that is; perform maintenance (state of conservation) in accordance with applicable standards, maintaining the value criteria grandeur (Outstanding Universal Value), manage by taking into account the principles of conservation, and provide periodic reports to the UNESCO every two years.
