Conservation works on Dechenphug, a small monastery in Bhutan, were carried out from 1996 to 1999 under the scientific control of Unesco. From the beginning, a strong disagreement was obvious between the ethics of the international organisation and the current local practice. A compromise was eventually agreed, a proof that both approaches are not always irreconcilable. Field training of local actors was a an important component of the project, which included the reconstruction of an ancillary building, the restoration of woodwork and roofs on the other two buildings, and the conservation of a mural painting.Les travaux de conservation du petit monastère bhoutanais de Dechenphug, menés sous la responsabilité scientifique de l'Unesco de 1996 à 1999, ont d'emblée mis en lumière la divergence entre la doctrine d'une organisation internationale et la pratique des autorités locales. Le compromis finalement adopté montre qu'il est parfois possible de concilier ces deux points de vue. La formation du personnel local était une composante majeure du programme des travaux, qui ont porté sur la reconstruction d'un bâtiment de service, la réfection des menuiseries et des toitures des deux autres bâtiments, et la conservation d'une peinture murale.Pichard Pierre.
