<i>"bureaucrats from China or France could oversee and influence the Alamo’s operation.</i>

As if it matters, here's what the <a href="http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/archive\/opguide13-en.pdf" target="_blank">Operational Guidelines for the Implementation of the World Heritage Convention</a>actually says<blockquote><b>While fully respecting the sovereignty of the States on whose territory the cultural and natural heritage is situated,</b> States Parties to the Convention recognize the collective interest of the international community to cooperate in the protection of this heritage.</blockquote>
