ICOMOS, the International Council on Monuments and Sites has recently formed an International Scientific Committee(ISC) to focus on the conservation, management and interpretation issues confronting the heritage structures, sites and places of the twentieth century. The activities and objectives of the new committee are examined, and its role in the promotion of modern heritage in a world heritage context is explored. The ISC will provide a global professional forum for debating conservation challenges and promoting the values of twentieth-century heritage.
