Right to enjoy one's cultureHuman rights noteWith regard to the exercise of the cultural rights protected under article 27 of ICCPR, the HRC has clarified that "culture manifests itself in many forms, including a particular way of life associated with the use of land resources, specially in the case of indigenous peoples. That right may include such traditional activities as fishing or hunting and the right to live in reserves protected by law. The enjoyment of those rights may require positive legal measures of protection and measures to ensure the effective participation of members of minority communities in decisions which affect them". See HRC GC No. 23. |
