UNESCO denies linkage with "seven new wonders of the world" campaign

PARIS, June 20 (Xinhua) -- United Nations Educational,Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), in a move to protect its reputation, has denied any linkage between its World Heritage protection program, and the ongoing media campaign dubbed the "seven new wonders of the world."
This campaign was launched in 2000 by Bernard Weber in his private capacity, and its idea is to select seven new wonders of the world through a global polling process by citizens of the entire world.
"Although UNESCO was severally requested to support such an initiative at its launching, it declined to collaborate with Weber in this campaign," according to a statement issued Wednesday by UNESCO.
"UNESCO's stated objective and mandate is to assist countries in the identification, protection and preservation of world heritage. It is meaningless to acknowledge sentimental or symbolic value of certain sites and classify them on a new list," says the statement.
The organization pointed out, among others, that there was no shade of comparison between Weber's media campaign and UNESCO's scientific and educational work leading to registration of sites in the World Heritage list.
"The list of the seven new wonders of the world will be regarded as an effort of a private initiative, only reflecting the opinion of a public with access to the internet, and not that of the world as a whole," according to UNESCO.
And here in India we are as usual self-proclaimed BEST ... hahahahahah
LUCKNOW: Close on the heels of announcement of the New Seven Wonders of the World on Saturday, the erstwhile royals from Uttar Pradesh have questioned the transparency of the voting pattern of the contest.
''Taj is numero uno and remains so...the private organisation, NSW Society, holding the contest neither has representatives from respective countries nor has a clear stand on the voting procedure. How can someone decide on the positioning of Taj,'' wondered Royal Family of Awadh (RFA) general secretary Shikoh Azad.
