Cultural Rights

Theoreticians of various social disciplines systematically deal with the human rights issue, its history, content, justification, nature, universality and legal status. The authors of this paper analyze the status of cultural rights within the framework of International Law. Besides outlining the most relevant international documents on human rights, they give an overview of the most important international documents containing provisions on cultural rights. There is no universally accepted definition of "culutre". Therefore, this paper is focused on the issue of numerous definitions of culture and the difficulty of finding generally accepted one. At the end of the paper there is the dilemma wheter the Wes has the right to impose its norms and standards to other parts of the world in the way the West sees them.
