UNESCO Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH)

Late last year it was announced by the government that it was going to ratify the UNESCO Convention on Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) in June 2024, after consultation until March 2024.

'By ratifying the Convention, the UK Government will be able to recognise our most important crafts and traditions in the same way as we have considered our physical heritage sites such as the Giant’s Causeway, Fountains Abbey, and the Tower of London.' - Arts and Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay.
