Japan's Sado Mine Listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 27
Jul 27, 2024, 03:37 AM
Japan's Sado mine, associated with wartime forced labor, has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site on July 27. The decision was made during the current World Heritage Committee session in India. South Korea, which had previously objected to the listing, did not protest the decision this time. A South Korean archaeologist advising his country's delegation stated he would not oppose the designation if the history of forced labor is fully explained to visitors. The listing is part of a broader inclusion of eleven new sites of significance to the UNESCO World Heritage List, including two in Asia and one in the Pacific.
