Explanation of Article 27
The right to participate in cultural life is not limited to attending events and museums, but must be understood in a broader sense. This also includes the right to live one's own culture in
general. Cultural rights also include access to the cultural heritage of others. The guarantee of many of the human rights mentioned above - such as a reasonable income, sufficient leisure time,
sufficient education, etc. - is a prerequisite for being able to participate in cultural life at all. The right to culture also refers to participation in the achievements of scientific and
technological progress. Although these rights - like other social, cultural and economic rights - are difficult to enforce, they should guide state action and international relations.
