San José supports the development of a Component on socioeconomic
impact of the traditional celebration in the Human Development Notebook
"the impact of culture in the production of wealth in El Salvador"
by the PNUD.
The corresponding study includes the revision of relevant UNESCO
documents in the field of Intangible Heritage and existing methodologies
for the measurement of the social and economic impact of the traditional
celebration; the identification of the information available on
the main manifestations of Intangible Heritage in El Salvador, with
special emphasis on the celebrations, and the valuation of the applicability
of those methodologies to the Salvadoran context. Contact: Sylvie

Is
every web surfer a likely suspect? UNESCO, Interpol and ICOM team
up to fight illicit traffic of cultural objects on internet
The Degas painting was a fake, so was the Klimt, but the South American
artifacts and fossils and the 7,000 coins for sale on internet sites
were absolutely genuine. Selling them, however, was considered as
illicit traffic of cultural property and they were seized. This
handful of examples, taken from a recent study conducted by Interpol
in 56 countries, illustrates how wide-ranging the illicit traffic
in cultural property through the internet has become.
