Cambodia has three sites on the list of World Heritage Sites, as designated by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). World Heritage Sites have been nominated by signatories to the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention. Cambodia ratified the convention on 28 November 1991. Angkor (pictured) was listed in 1992 when the country was briefly governed by the United Nations mission after the Cambodian–Vietnamese War, in line with the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements. The site was immediately placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger in order to quickly and efficiently deal with urgent problems of conservation. In 2004, Angkor was removed from the endangered list. The Temple of Preah Vihear was listed in 2008 and the Sambor Prei Kuk temple complex in 2018. (Full list...)
