Cultural rights are the rights of individuals and communities to participate in and enjoy their cultural heritage. This includes the freedom to express cultural identity, practice traditions, and access cultural resources. These rights are essential for preserving diverse cultures and promoting social cohesion. Cultural rights are recognized in various international documents, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights. They emphasize the importance of protecting languages, arts, and cultural practices, ensuring that all people can contribute to and benefit from their cultural environments.
