As the Lebanese National Committee of ICOMOS, we operate within the global ICOMOS network, aligning our work with internationally recognized doctrines, charters, and methodologies, while remaining deeply rooted in Lebanon’s legal, cultural, and institutional context.

Our members include architects, planners, researchers, and heritage professionals with diverse backgrounds. This allows us to address heritage challenges holistically – from technical conservation questions to broader social, cultural, and territorial issues.

ICOMOS Lebanon acts as an independent, non-governmental body. Our positions, assessments, and recommendations are guided by professional standards, scientific rigor, and ethical responsibility, rather than political or commercial interests.

Working in Lebanon means operating in a context marked by economic constraints and surrounding crises. This has strengthened our ability to assess risk, prioritize interventions, and adapt international best practices to challenging realities.

We serve as a platform for exchange between professionals, institutions, and civil society. Through workshops, events, and advisory activities, we contribute to strengthening heritage knowledge, professional capacity, and public awareness.

Our work aims not only to protect heritage assets, but also to ensure their transmission, relevance, and sustainability for future generations, recognizing heritage as a shared cultural resource and a foundation for resilient communities.
