The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has cautioned the Pakistani government that improper restoration efforts at the Taxila archaeological complex may result in the site's removal from the World Heritage List.

聯合國教育、科學及文化組織（UNESCO）已警告巴基斯坦政府，塔克西拉考古遺址不適當的修復工程可能會導致該遺址被移出世界遺產名單。

The current diplomatic friction originated following the submission of photographic evidence by an anonymous visitor to Pakistan's Permanent Delegate in Paris, which indicated the utilization of modern masonry and cement at the Sirkap and Mohra Moradu sites. This structural intervention, executed by the Department of Archaeology and Museums (DOAM) and the Punjab archaeology department, allegedly replaced irregular ancient stonework with uniform, polished modern materials and, in certain instances, increased the height of original walls. UNESCO has characterized these modifications as 'unnecessary interventions' that compromise the historical authenticity and integrity of the site, which has been inscribed as a World Heritage Site since 1980.

目前的外交摩擦源於一名匿名遊客向巴基斯坦駐巴黎代表遞交的照片證據，顯示在 Sirkap 和 Mohra Moradu 遺址使用了現代石工與水泥。這次由考古與博物館局（DOAM）及旁遮普省考古部門執行的結構干預，據稱將不規則的古代石工替換為統一、光滑的現代材料，且在某些情況下增加了原牆的高度。聯合國教科文組織將這些修改定性為「不必要的干預」，損害了該遺址的歷史真實性與完整性，而該遺址自 1980 年起即被列入世界遺產名錄。

During a technical inspection conducted on June 12, and subsequent high-level meetings, UNESCO officials cited a precedent involving the delisting of a German heritage site to underscore the potential for retaliatory administrative action. Conversely, Malik Zaheer Abbas, Director General of the Punjab archaeology department, has contested the classification of these works as 'reconstruction.' The administration maintains that the measures were stabilization efforts designed to prevent further deterioration and were conducted in accordance with conservation principles.

在 6 月 12 日進行的技術視察及隨後的高層會議中，聯合國教科文組織官員引用了一個德國遺產地被除名的先例，以強調採取行政懲罰行動的可能性。相反，旁遮普省考古部門總幹事 Malik Zaheer Abbas 則反對將這些工程定義為「重建」。行政部門堅持認為，這些措施是為了防止進一步劣化而設計的穩定工程，且是根據保育原則而進行的。

Beyond the immediate structural concerns, the situation possesses broader institutional implications. The persistence of this dispute may impede Pakistan's efforts to secure UNESCO recognition for 24 additional heritage sites, including Rani Ghat and Bhanbhore, an objective that has remained stagnant since 1997. The site in question, historically known as Takshashila, represents a critical intersection of Vedic, Buddhist, and Greco-Buddhist civilizations, encompassing remains from the Achaemenid, Mauryan, Indo-Greek, and Kushan eras.

除了即時的結構問題外，此情況具有更廣泛的體制影響。此爭端的持續可能會妨礙巴基斯坦爭取讓另外 24 個遺產地（包括 Rani Ghat 和 Bhanbhore）獲得聯合國教科文組織認可的努力，該目標自 1997 年起便一直停滯不前。該涉事遺址在歷史上被稱為 Takshashila，代表了吠陀、佛教與希臘佛教文明的重要交匯點，涵蓋了波斯阿契美尼德、孔雀、印度-希臘以及貴霜時代的遺跡。

Taxila remains under threat of being placed on the List of World Heritage in Danger unless the Pakistani authorities implement the corrective measures demanded by UNESCO.

除非巴基斯坦當局執行聯合國教科文組織要求的糾正措施，否則塔克西拉依然面臨被列入《瀕危世界遺產名單》的威脅。
