Structure de la CommissionThe National Commission consists of the following bodies:

The Sub-Commission for Cultural Management was established with a perspective of creating a UNESCO Chair for Cultural Management. It held its meetings as often as necessary (there were 4 meetings during 1999). The Sub-Commission for Cultural Heritage and Peace Education was established for promoting World Heritage education and supporting two intertwined initiatives - the Latin Quarter Project and the House of Peace Project.
