Why UNESCO World Heritage Sites are in Trouble (Ft. @KhAnubis)

Shar min aung Par... UNESCO

UNESCO is a joke, but the UN as a whole is a joke tbh.

The UN itself should have sent out its standing army to protect the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Timbouctou from thieves, bandits, and Boko Haram.
And I'm furious that the US has pulled out of the UN. I didn't know we ALSO pulled funding from UNESCO under Obama... makes me dislike him even more. And to think the Drone King was given a Nobel Peace Prize! Absurd.

The main reason of US out of UNESCO is du to attacks on Israel.
UNESCO function by voting and lot of undemocratic nations started to attack Israel. (Imposing fake history on the Western Wall for example)
UNESCO lost is creditability and it's just another geopolitical platform.

Why China did not provide UNESCO with references to Tamils ​​in Guangzhou, a cultural city in China created by the Indian Tamil people?

Great video on UNESCO, though my only complaint about the organisation is the lack of recommendations and future-proofing of historically important sites. For example, just recently Liverpools waterfront was delisted from UNESCO. Which I have mixed feelings about because Liverpools Victorian docks up until recently had large dilapidated buildings and derelict land, which was very unattractive. On the other hand some of the development on Liverpool's Waterfront has been inappropriate and out of place for the area. But at the end of the day UNESCO never gave any clear direction for potential development, or rejuvenation of the docks.

UN is the ultimate scapegoat, constantly blamed for simultaneously being too overbearing and useless while in reality it is nothing but a forum for co-operation.

I learn something from your video every time + I feel they are entertaining as well!

But are mongols the exception?

I think UNESCO has value, but it can also be used as a blunt object, see Palestine. I know they were accepted, but that was pretty political, and it shouldn't have been.

Withdrawing from UNESCO feels like something the US would do. Also I had no idea the US withdrew. It also feels Trumpian but then again the process essentially started before Trump.

china's history is so sick

Thank you - this was a really fascinating video!

After recently coming across your videos and watching/enjoying several of them, I recommended you to nebula:
She provides thoughtful and careful evaluations on architecture. Her evaluations are less based on personal opinions but considerate critiques based on a good understanding and care for architecture, society and culture.

booooooo brutalism boooooooo !
Looks awful!

I find that, unless you are an arts/ architecture major we don't get a strong case for the conservation of culturally relevant sites in our education.
News always refer to economy or o blic health as preasing issues, (and they are) but the agenda is rarely set for site preservation

Because the UN is a failing powerless unelected world government that nobody wants or follows.

Mongols FTW!

Great video!
KhAnubis sent me :-)

Well made video! Good editing and interesting explanations

A1 work!

Hmmm, apparently I need to explore more of the UNESCO sites back home! (Though Vieux Quebec is wonderful! Do visit sometime. :) Also I don't think I realized just how extensive and expansive the UNESCO list had become. I never knew just what, if any, 'real' protections or enticements the designation came from, or that it was something you had to submit for, so thank you for illuminating it all for us. What's meaningful to preserve is a great conversation to, ongoingly, engage in. To which... count my vote for certain Brutalism buildings! (And I don't think I knew you were from Xi'an, I visited in 2012. :)

I love this channel

I love how khAnubis' hands are always jumping on little trampolines just below screen.

Come to Old Quebec! Once COVID is over of course, it's a very bilingual place

Great video! Tbh I actually like brutalist architecture 😅

brutalism is cringe

you re back

Okay, not first this time but it was great to finally get to collab with you!

5th, but realistically 2nd:v

Great video and thank you for having my voice on! As a big history nerd I'm a bit biased towards UNESCO cuz preserving history is my literal job. I had no idea how the organization actually works and this was a great explanation

Also, for people who use Chinese Traditional: Chang'an is 長安
