AB - The Intangible Heritage Convention requires States Parties to ‘identify and define’ the ICH present in their territories ‘with the participation of communities, groups and relevant NGOs’ (Article 11b). This is part of the process of inventorying the ICH in their territories ‘to ensure identification with a view to safeguarding’ (Article 12.1). The Convention strongly recommends community participation in all safeguarding activities (Article 15). The Intergovernmental Committee commented at the 2011 Bali meeting on the general lack of information about community participation in ICH inventorying in the periodic reports submitted to the Committee by States Parties. There are relatively few documented projects, even outside the ambit of inventorying under the Convention, in which community members set the agenda for formal research or documentation of their ICH, or indeed use these materials.
