Subject: Petition to no 10 on Cultural
heritage.
OK folks here's our chance let's go for
it.......
Your petition reads:
We the undersigned petition the Prime
Minister to Ratify the
UNESCO Convention on Intangible Cultural
Heritage
The United Kingdom has one of the
greatest number of
traditional customs in the world. These
are an important part
of our culture and deserve protection.
UNESCO recognises this
and has a convention on World Intangible
Cultural Heritage. The
annual custom of Cheese Rolling has been
cancelled. This is
symptomatic of a culture in which we are
losing our national
heritage. The United Kingdom has not
ratified the convention;
therefore many of our traditional customs
are increasingly
threatened. If something is not done we
will eventually lose
most of our customs and traditions, and
the world will be a
poorer place. The United Kingdom should
therefore ratify the
convention
