Experts in cultural rights from civil society associations in the Islamic world will take part in this round-table, during which ISESCO will present the “Draft Broad Lines of Cultural Rights in the Member States: Achievements and Future Prospects”, as well as the general provisions of “Draft Islamic Declaration on Cultural Rights”.
This round-table is aimed at furthering discussions with culture experts about the “Draft Broad Lines of Cultural Rights in the Member States: Achievements and Future Prospects”, which is considered as the reference for the “Draft Islamic Declaration on Cultural Rights”.
The two documents will be submitted to the 8th Islamic Conference of Culture Ministers, which will be held next December in al-Madinah al-Munawarrah, on the occasion of its celebration as the Islamic Culture Capital for 1434 A.H./2013 A.D. These two documents are aimed at enabling the Member States from drawing up their own future culture policies and keeping abreast of the international discussion on cultural rights, while having as reference the Islamic stance on the subject.
For the record, ISESCO has organized within the same framework a roundtable on the “Cultural Roles of Civil Society in Promoting Cultural Rights in the Islamic World”, as part of the 2nd International Conference on Civic Values and Alliance of Civilizations, which was held at its permanent headquarters, in Rabat, on 19-21 December 2012.
