ABSTRACT
Amongst the set of rights registered in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the subsequent international covenants, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), cultural rights are probably those that have received least attention. To a certain extent this poor attention is understandable on account of the intrinsic difficulty in defining them. Indeed, in contrast with other rights, indicators of cultural freedom are scarce. One can admittedly apprehend the idea of cultural freedom, but it has not been possible to measure this same cultural freedom beyond the simple enumeration of the existence of specific legislation concerning, for example, the rights of minorities.
