The "Ocean Assistant" lighthouse, which has contributed to the development of marine culture and human civilization, is being reexamined as a world cultural heritage. There is a way to show the value of Incheon "Palmido Lighthouse", representative lighthouse of Korea, to the whole world.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries announced on the 27th that it adopted 'Incheon Declaration' which includes this information at the 19th International IALA Conference in Songdo International City on October 28.
Lighthouses are not only responsible for maritime traffic safety, but also play an important role in exercising territorial sovereignty.
In 2002, the International Court of Justice handed down Malaysia's hands to establish and maintain a lighthouse in a ruling on territorial dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia.
In Korea, first of all, the palmyodo lighthouse that first lighted up in 1903 is called the lighthouse.
It was widely known that the light of Palimido Lighthouse during the Korean War broke out as a guide to the sea and contributed greatly to the success of Incheon landing operations. It is the case that the lighthouse shows that it can have historical value as cultural heritage beyond marine transportation facilities.
Until now, however, there is no single lighthouse designated as national treasure or treasure in Korea. Palimido lighthouse stays at the level of tangible cultural property of Incheon city.
The overseas situation is the same.
All of the world's lighthouses are managed by UNESCO, and the only registered lighthouse is the A Coruña lighthouse in Spain and two lighthouses in Cordouan in France.
Therefore, the Incheon Declaration Committee has been established to increase the lighthouse value and attract more people around the world, and the Incheon Declaration Project has been promoted for two years.
The lighthouse has recognized the value of contributing to marine culture and the development of human civilization and has voiced the need for preservation and management as a cultural heritage.
The 83 members of the IALA have agreed to the Incheon Declaration, and will be awarded the Incheon Declaration on June 2, the last day of the conference.
Professor Kim Jong-heon Bae Jae-Dae, who is chairman of the Incheon Declaration Committee, said, "Palimido's lighthouse was installed in June 1903 by Japan's coercive force." In 115 years since Incheon, lighthouse experts from all over the world gathered to protect the world lighthouse It is indeed a surprise to declare a concrete code of conduct. "
