While cultural rights have long been neglected in human rights theory and practice, they are attracting growing attention today. This chapter examines the sources of this cateogry of rights in international human rights law, describes their evolution, and highlights the major debates their interpretation has given rise to. It discusses more specifically the content and meaning of the right to take part in cultural life, te right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications, and the rights of authors and inventors to the protection of their moral and material interests.
