Abstract:

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares participation in the cultural life of the community to be a human right. This is confirmed in the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, which is a treaty under international law. This commits states to reporting regularly to the UN on their record in upholding the covenanted rights. While states are held to account in regard to high profile human rights by non-government organisations such as Human Rights Watch, this is not the case with the right to cultural participation. This right is largely neglected in both the oversight by the relevant UN committee and in the reporting process by member states. This neglect means that the public is ill-informed in regard to the extent to which their right to cultural participation is being honoured. Proposals are made to begin the process of subjecting this situation to critical appraisal.
