UN Special Rapporteur in the Field of Cultural Rights

Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights

Cultural rights are fundamental for the respect of human dignity, in the diversity of its expressions. This mandate [independent expert in the field of cultural rights] was created to:

  • Give greater visibility to cultural rights in the human rights system; and to
  • Foster a better understanding of the severity of their violations, and of the opportunity of their realisation for all.
