A series of Australian penal sites located in Sydney, Tasmania, Fremantle and other regions have been inscribed to highlight their historical importance, along with the Jantar Mantar astronomical observation site in Jaipur, India.

Two locations in Iran have been officially recognised by Unesco - the Sheikh Safi al-Din Khanegah and shrine ensemble in Ardabil and the historic bazaar complex in Tabriz.

The addition of Bikini Atoll to the World Heritage record represents the first time that the Marshall Islands has featured on the list.
