July 5 (UPI) -- The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization added five archaeological and natural sites to its World Heritage List on Friday, including the ancient city of Babylon in Iraq and Iceland's Vatnajökull National Park.

 

UNESCO's World Heritage Committee's list grants legal protection under international treaties to sites across the world.

Iraqis are jubilant over the designation of the ancient city of Babylon as a world heritage site. Damage from railways, poor restorations and U.S. troops are now considered part of the local history.

If Babylon is a World Heritage site, does that mean it will never be rebuilt?
