On 18 April 1982, on the occasion of a symposium organized by ICOMOS Tunisia and a corresponding meeting of the Bureau in Hammamet, it was suggested that a day be established to celebrate the diversity of heritage throughout the world. From this idea, the International Day for Monuments and Sites was born. This project was approved by the Executive Committee who also provided practical suggestions to the National Committees on how to organize this day. Last but no least, the idea was also approved by the UNESCO General Conference who passed a resolution as its 22nd session in November 1983 recommending that Member States examine the possibility of declaring 18 April each year "International Monuments and Sites Day". 1, record 4, English, - International%20Monuments%20and%20Sites%20Day

Le 18 avril 1982, au cours d'un colloque organisé par le Comité tunisien de l'ICOMOS, qui coïncidait avec une réunion du Bureau à Hammamet, il fut discuté de la création d'une Journée pour célébrer la diversité du patrimoine à travers le monde. À partir de cette idée, la Journée internationale des monuments et des sites a vu le jour. Ce projet a été approuvé par le Comité Exécutif qui a fournit des recommandations pratiques aux Comités Nationaux sur l'organisation de cette journée. Enfin mais surtout, cette idée a été également approuvée par la Conférence Générale de l'UNESCO dans une résolution lors de sa 22e session en novembre 1983 recommandant que les États Membres examinent la possibilité de déclarer le 18 avril chaque année «Journée internationale des monuments et des sites. 1, record 4, French, - Journ%C3%A9e%20internationale%20des%20monuments%20et%20des%20sites
