As defined in its charter, the OWHC is committed to sustain sincere support for peace by fostering cooperation and solidarity between nations. It is our strong belief that it is particularly in the cities, where human populations are concentrated, that the cultural traits of peoples are expressed. Our living communities, our common heritage and the universal values recognized especially in World Heritage Cities must be protected, preserved, and cherished according to international treaties - said Jacek Majchrowski, the mayor of Krakow.
