The International Council on Monuments and Sites will send an expert team to South Korea next month to carry out an on-site inspection on Namhan Fortress before UNESCO makes a decision on whether to add the South Korean historical site to its World Cultural Heritage list.
 
The council said Monday that the on-site inspection will take place from September first to the fifth.
 
Based on the results of the inspection, the council will submit a report to UNESCO’s World Heritage Committee.
 
If the council gives its endorsement, it is highly likely Namhan Fortress will be added to the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list.
