Promotion of international cooperation

Abstract

Cultural expression is at the core of today’s global concerns. The UNESCO Convention as a legal instrument addresses primary concerns to protect and promote all forms of cultural expression at the level of individual signatory States (and regional economic integration organizations acceding to the CCD in accordance with Art. 27 para. 3) by advocating new diversity policies and strategies. One of the Convention’s important contributions is the potential provided by Article 12, which is devoted to “International Cooperation”.
