"ICOMOS is an international, non-governmental organization dedicated to the conservation of the world's historic monuments and sites. The organization was founded in 1965, as a result of the international adoption of the Charter for the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites in Venice the year before. Today the organization has National Committees in over 107 countries. ICOMOS is UNESCO's principal advisor in matters concerning the conservation and protection of monuments and sites. With IUCN-The World Conservation Union, ICOMOS has an international role under the World Heritage Convention to advise the World Heritage Committee and UNESCO on the nomination of new sites to the World Heritage List. Through its 21 International Scientific Committees of experts from around the world, and through its triennial General Assembly, ICOMOS seeks to establish international standards for the preservation, restoration, and management of the cultural environment. Many of these standards have been promulgated as Charters by the organization as a result of adoption by the ICOMOS General Assembly. ICOMOS activities are governed by a set of Statutes which were adopted by the Fifth General Assembly in Moscow on May 22nd, 1978."
