From the Head of the Borobudur Conservation Center, Drs. Marsis Sutopo, M.Si. The impact of the revocation of the World Cultural Heritage status is Borobudur will no longer listed in the World Heritage List. Therefore no longer be a World Heritage Site, then of course all the awards, handling, and management of Candi Borobudur the temple will be very much different. However, to understanding, the gaining of World Heritage status is a very long struggle, must go through the selection, diplomacy, negotiation, and so on. Vice versa, the revocation of the World Heritage status also must go through very long process. Previously, within 1 or 2 years the World Heritage Site proposal usually got approval from the UNESCO. Now, we must go through a long struggle, diplomacy, negotiation, because of hard competition between countries who own world heritage sites.
Not long ago, Subak Bali The Irrigation System, after we waited and fought for 12 years finally approved by the UNESCO as World Heritage. Meanwhile, Indonesia still has about 26 world heritage (both cultural and natural) are still in the Tentative List which of course is still to be fought to successfully achieve the Permanent List of World Heritage.
World Heritage status is the status and the highest award from the world's official agency in charge of culture. Surely if the status/awards that has been won by country are subsequently revoked or canceled due to the inability of the country for the care of world heritage site and the management, compliant to the international conventions, pride of the nation is at stake. Like a world champion boxing got revoked/canceled his title but not through the official games, because of mistake he made outside the ring. If this sort of thing really happen then surely we judged to be incompetent by the international community, incompetent on the care and management of the World Heritage site, the heritage of all mankind.
