PARIS — World War One cemeteries in Belgium and France, the hills of Rwanda's 1994 genocide and a former torture centre in Argentina have been declared Unesco World Heritage sites as the UN agency ends a moratorium on memorial sites for human suffering.
At a meeting of the Unesco World Heritage Committee in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on Wednesday , Unesco member states agreed to add the World War One and Rwanda sites to the list, after adding the Argentina torture memorial on Tuesday. A Unesco meeting in 2018 had held off on adding memorial sites to the list as the agency debated whether the heritage list is a relevant tool for sites of memory associated with atrocities and conflicts.
The World War One sites encompass a series of military cemeteries, battlefield burial grounds and memorials between the north of Belgium and the east of France. The 139 sites trace the outline of World War One's Western Front and hold the remains of tens of thousands of soldiers of several nationalities.
