Cultural
rights are
vested not in individuals but in groups, including indigenous peoples and
religious and ethnic minorities.
Cultural rights include a group’s ability to
raise its children in the ways of its forebears, to continue its language, and
not to be deprived of its economic base by the nation in which it is located.
Many countries have signed pacts endorsing, for cultural minorities within
nations, such rights as self- determination; some degree of home rule; and the
right to practice the group’s religion, culture, and language.
