Multiple reputable sources, including CBS News and UNESCO's official announcement, confirm that Kun Lbokator was inscribed on UNESCO's Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity on 29 November 2022. The claim is consistent with these reports, and no credible source contradicts it.
On 29 November 2022, UNESCO inscribed Kun Lbokator, Cambodia's traditional martial art, on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. The decision was announced during the 17th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, held in Rabat, Morocco. The inscription recognizes Kun Lbokator as an integral part of Cambodia's cultural heritage, alongside other new inscriptions such as the French baguette and Chinese traditional tea-making.
