3. Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Over the past decade many priceless heritage sites and monuments have been damaged in countries
across the world. In Africa, sites in Libya, Algeria, Egypt and Mali, among others, have been damaged during
internal and cross-border conflicts. The three main threats to heritage sites are development projects, armed
conflicts and natural disasters. International agencies like UNESCO have called for the protection of heritage
resources in the event of conflict. But this has not happened.
Destroying monuments is a violent act. Those responsible are trying to erase - by force - an aspect of
history. One example was the Nazis who, during World War II, tried to destroy Jewish people’s art and
personal property. The attacks on monuments and calls for their destruction reflect the systemic and complex
violence in many African states, although it’s important to note that the problem is not only an African one.
ISIS is the latest group destroying history and heritage. This is popular in Iraq. Syria is another country
witnessing its heritage being wiped out. When examining the ongoing conflict in the north of Mali, it is clear
that heritage sites are just part of the damage of human lives and cultural property in the ongoing conflict.
It is worth considering national and world heritage conservation policies and guidelines. All heritage is
valuable and should be protected. Destroying heritage is not in the interest of humanity. The African continent
has to address the question of how we collectively deal with difficult and damaged heritages. A reflection on
the UNESCO Conventions between 1954 and 1972 should also provide guidance on future actions on heritage
management at local and national levels. The 1954 Convention which calls for the protection of cultural
heritage during conflict and war was regularly mentioned during the Iraq conflict and recent conflict in Mali.
The 1970 and 1972 Conventions draw attention to protecting world heritage by state parties, with these tools,
countries should have enough guidance to individually and collectively protect heritage resources.

4. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
following questions.
The Complex of Hue Monuments is wholly owned by the Government of the Socialist Republic of Viet
Nam. Guided by the 1972 Convention on the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage, the
National Heritage Law (2001, revised in 2009), and a number of other provincial regulations and decisions, the
Hue Monuments Conservation Centre is responsible for the management of the complex and the protection of
its outstanding universal value.
The Complex of Hue Monuments is given special attention in the Socio-Economic Development Master
Plan of Thua Thien Hue Province, which provides direction for the conservation and restoration of the
complex through 2020. In addition, an Adjusted Planning Framework for the Complex of Hue Monuments
(2010-2020) was approved by the Prime Minister on 7 June 2010. This should control any further infrastructure
projects that could impact the property. The details of how this will protect the site should be explained in the
Management Plan and it should be included in the regulatory framework for Hue (the Master Plan).
It is important that the works needed to minimise the negative impact of noise and visual pollution on
the Minh Mang and Khai Dinh tombs and to reduce the impact of the new highway are completed. Any
remaining illegal buildings within the site should be removed. In addition to development, climate change and
natural disasters are other potential problems for the long-term management of the property. To reduce the
impact of floods, three dams are being built upstream along the Perfume River. In addition, the traditional water
network and drainage system within and around the Citadel will be restored, as a means to reduce the damage
to the World Heritage property and protect its inhabitants from the risk of flood, and to restore the historic
network of ponds and canals.
The level of tourism at the Hue Monuments is increasing to a point where it needs to be managed so as
to be suitable with the capacity of the site. This issue should also be addressed in the Management Plan.
