In alphabetical order

Sorting follows French alphabetical order: initial articles are ignored and accented letters are treated as their unaccented equivalents. Thus "États-Unis" is found under the letter É, before Finland and after Ecuador, according to the module's conventions.

The names used are the usual names in French. The full official names appear in each State's profile, so as not to overload the list.

The module has an input box. From the first letters, the list narrows to the States whose name matches. The search tolerates missing accents and capital letters, which makes typing easier from any keyboard.

A drop-down filter limits the display to one region. It can be combined with the search: entering "a" and choosing "Africa" displays the African States whose name contains that letter.

Each line shows the State's name, its region and its year of accession. A mention distinguishes the founding States, which joined in 2007. The national focal point is indicated in the form "Heritage Directorate" followed by the country's name.

Clicking a line opens the State's summary profile. The focal point's named contact details are visible only from the member area.

This list is used by administrations to verify a partner's status, by lawyers to document the applicability of a rule, by journalists to cite the number of members and by students for their work.

It is also used internally by the regional offices to distribute meeting invitations and documentation mailings.

The module lets you print the list or save it as a PDF document from the browser. For a citation, state the date of consultation, as the list changes with each admission.
