OHCHR Press Conference (UN Special Rapporteur on cultural rights)
Press Conference Announcement
On the occasion of the presentation of her first report to the Human Rights Council, the new Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights will discuss the intentional destruction of cultural heritage as a violation of human rights, a topic deserving utmost priority. How do such destructions impact human rights? One aspect of that question can be tackled by unveiling the links between attacks on tangible and intangible cultural heritage; a human rights approach assists in making these connections.
Ms. Karima Bennoune, Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights
