The International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) () is a professional association that works for the conservation and protection of cultural heritage places around the world. Now headquartered in Paris, ICOMOS was founded in 1965 in Warsaw as a result of the Venice Charter of 1964, and offers advice to UNESCO on World Heritage Sites. The idea behind ICOMOS dates to the Athens Conference on the restoration of historic buildings in 1931, organized by the International Museums Office. The Athens Charter of 1931 introduced the concept of international heritage. In 1964, the Second Congress of Architects and Specialists of Historic Buildings, meeting in Venice, adopted 13 resolutions. The first created the International Charter on the Conservation and Restoration of Monuments and Sites, better known as Venice Charter; the second, put forward by UNESCO, created ICOMOS to carry out this charter. ICOMOS currently has over 9.500 Individual Members in 144 countries,110 National Committees,28 International Scientific Committees. With rare exceptions, each member must be qualified in the field of conservation, and a practicing landscape architect, architect, archaeologist, anthropologist, town planner, engineer, administrator of heritage, historian, art historian, palaeontologist or archivist. ICOMOS is a partner in the International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS), which works to protect the world's cultural heritage threatened by wars and natural disasters. ==ICOMOS structure== ICOMOS is composed of its National Committees (NCs), to which individuals and institutions apply for membership. In addition to the National Committees, ICOMOS has a series of International Scientific Committees (ISCs), in which experts in certain field of activity within the context of heritage conservation exchange and debate. The organization is headed by a President, 5 Vice-Presidents, a Secretary-General and Treasurer all directly elected by the general Assembly of the organization. 12 additional Members are also elected by the (General Assembly ) into the (Executive Committee ) and 5 further members are co-opted into the Executive Board in order to represent regions of the world or areas of expertise that were not part of the Executive Committee following the elections.

The Executive Committee is the executive body of ICOMOS.
