A/HRC/40/53
(a)
Engage more systematically with the mandate and with other United
Nations and regional human rights bodies on cultural rights, including by submitting
shadow reports, participating in interactive dialogues and submitting cases related to
article 15 of the Covenant to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights
under the Optional Protocol to the Covenant and relevant cultural rights cases to
bodies with similar complaints mechanisms;
(b)
Engage in outreach, training and consultation in cultural, artistic and
scientific circles on cultural rights, the work of the mandate, relevant international
standards and working with the United Nations human rights system;
(c)
Ensure that human rights organizations mainstream cultural rights in
their work, and that cultural organizations adopt a human rights perspective in their
work. More work must be done at those intersections, including on the cultural rights
of women, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex persons, persons with
disabilities, rural persons and peasants, migrants and refugees;
(d)
Consider forming a coalition for cultural rights at the United Nations,
modelled on similar coalitions covering other universal human rights.
