A/HRC/58/60/Add.1 United Nations General Assembly Distr.: General 10 February 2025 Original: English Human Rights Council Fifty-eighth session 24 February–4 April 2025 Agenda item 3 Promotion and protection of all human rights, civil, political, economic, social and cultural rights, including the right to development Visit to Chile Report of the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Alexandra Xanthaki*, ** Summary The Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Alexandra Xanthaki, visited Chile from 25 March to 5 April 2024. The purpose of the visit was to gain an understanding, in a spirit of cooperation and constructive dialogue, of how the State endeavours to implement cultural rights and to identify good practices in, and possible obstacles to, the promotion and protection of cultural rights in Chile. The Special Rapporteur addresses several key issues related to the right of all to participate – or not – in the cultural life of their choice, through all means of expression, including the arts. She considers the rights of all to access, take part in and contribute to cultural life in all its facets and in the decision-making processes that have an impact on their world views, values and ways of life, including in policies concerning sustainable and cultural development. In so doing, she gives particular attention to the public measures, spaces and policies fostering cultural diversity and interculturality, and especially the ways in which these recognize and include Afro-Chileans, migrants and Indigenous Peoples. Many of the recommendations of the Special Rapporteur are aimed at anchoring the good practices she witnessed in the implementation of cultural rights in long-term national strategies, policies and legal structures, in order to guarantee the full realization of those rights for all, throughout the regions, regardless of the political agendas in play. * The present report was submitted to the conference services for processing after the deadline as a result of consultations with the Member State. ** The summary of the report is being circulated in all official languages. The report itself, which is annexed to the summary, is being circulated in the language of submission and Spanish only. GE.25-01340 (E) 070225 070225
