World Heritage Site: Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls
Publication Year: 2017
Publication Type: Book chapter
Publication Identifier: WHE4FD9FAFE87
Summary
A proposed special regime for the governance of Jerusalem's Old City suggests a self-contained, municipal model rather than a radical sovereign entity. This approach aims to balance legal protection under existing laws, such as the Jerusalem Law, with practical governance needs. The study emphasizes creative applications of the status quo to address disputes while ensuring the city's unique character is preserved. By focusing on municipal governance, it offers a pragmatic framework for managing the complex challenges of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
