The UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity is the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage's own official register, established in 2008 under the 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, which absorbed the 90 elements previously named under the 2001-2005 Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. This atlas separately records many individual inscriptions from this same register, each one an entry in the same continuously maintained official list rather than an independent study, so citing this general record alongside one of those entries, or citing two of those entries together, for the same claim is the Committee's own institutional voice appearing more than once, not two independent lines of evidence. Use it for a practice's inscription status, inscription year and the Committee's own stated description of it; it is an official designation record, produced for the purpose of recognition and safeguarding, not a religiously neutral scholarly ethnography, so a claim about a practice's deeper history or meaning should be checked against independent ethnographic or historical scholarship where the atlas holds any.
