ICHO

The ICHO, or the International Cultural Heritage Organization, is a special committee organization of the International Forum devoted to the cataloging, preservation, and promotion of unique ideas, and the proliferation of international security and cooperation through arts, science, culture, history, and education initiatives. It is partnered with a number of Forum member states as well as nations outside the IF, alongside non-governmental organizations. It is headquartered in Rilanon, Christie Island, and has branch offices in nations worldwide to oversee its mandate.

The ICHO functions as a part of the International Forum devoted to the proliferation and preservation of information and unique ideas. It is responsible for translating and disseminating international literature, working to integrate nations into the digital network, securing and preserving sites of important cultural importance, and assists with the communication and understanding between unique societies via exchange programs and universal education. ICHO is responsible for many worldwide initiatives in partnership with individual nations and regional power blocs. The most famous part of the ICHO mandate is the Global Heritage program. This program catalogs locations around the world as unique cultural landmarks, based in the material or immaterial value they have for domestic and international history, culture, and education. Global Heritage sites include national parks, grand architectural feats, religious pilgrimage destinations, and natural features of great fame and beauty.
