Legal Framework and Thematic Issues - Culture
Cultural rights: legal framework and thematic issuesIn her first thematic report (submitted to the Human Rights Council), submitted in June 2010 (A/HRC/14/36), the Special Rapporteur examined which human rights may be considered cultural and how to further define their content.
Taking into consideration various instruments and studies, she underlined that cultural rights relate to a broad range of issues, such as expression and creation, including in diverse material and non-material forms of art; information and communication; language; identity and belonging to multiple, diverse and changing communities; development of specific world visions and the pursuit of specific ways of life; education and training; access, contribution and participation in cultural life; the conduct of cultural practices and access to tangible and intangible cultural heritage.
