New UN Report: Impact of Fundamentalism and Extremism on the Enjoyment of Cultural Rights

February 22, 2017 by Gary Price

via ArtsFreedom.org/Freemuse, we learn of a new report from the United Nations Human Rights Council written by Karima Bennoune – the United Nations Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights.
From ArtsFreedom:

In her second report to the Human Rights Council, Karima Bennoune – the United Nations Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights – considers how the rise of fundamentalism and extremism, in diverse forms, represent major threats to human rights worldwide.

From the United Nations Human Rights Council:

The Human Rights Council, through resolution 10/23 decided to establish, for a period of three years, a new special procedure entitled “independent expert in the field of cultural rights”.
The mandate was extended in 2012 for a period of three years, conferring to the current mandate holder the status of Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights (resolution 19/6). This mandate was further extended in 2015 for a period of three years through resolution 28/9 of 10 April.
The report maps how such threats gravely undermine the enjoyment of cultural rights and stresses the centrality of cultural rights in combating them.
