AGAINST

1. An international agency, the Physical Heritage Preservation Committee, should not have the power to ban human activities in certain areas of a country without the agreement of its government.

2. This proposal does not seek to improve the overall quality of the environment. It aims only at protecting a limited number of areas that have "physical features which are of outstanding universal excellence."
