The World Heritage Committee,

1. Having examined Document WHC-07/31.COM/8A,
2. Takes note of the Tentative Lists as amended in Annexes 3 and 4 of this document,
3. Recognizing the importance of Comparative Analysis and Transnational Serial nominations, requests the Advisory Bodies to continue to develop thematic studies to guide the States Parties in their tentative listing and nominations. The pro-active ICOMOS Report on Cultural Landscapes of the Pacific Islands is a model for this assistance.
