In 2007, the Fribourg Declaration on Cultural Rights was presented, the result of extensive work carried out by the so-called “Fribourg Group” of the Interdisciplinary Institute of Ethics and Human Rights at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland. This text, of significant international importance, sought to consolidate rights already recognised in other instruments, highlighting both the cultural significance of cultural rights and the cultural dimensions of other human rights. Nearly 20 years later, many other initiatives have followed in its wake. This dialogue brings Patrice Meyer-Bisch, director of the aforementioned Fribourg Group, to reflect on the current state of cultural rights, taking a retrospective look at the work carried out and offering a forward-looking perspective on the challenges we face today.
