Two recent books delve into the topic of cultural rights in international law. The first book explores the concept of cultural rights by examining legal instruments, international practices, and the role of UN bodies in implementing these rights. The second book covers a wide range of topics related to cultural rights, such as the relationship between cultural rights and the state, minority rights, and cultural protection in different institutional contexts. These books show that understanding cultural rights in international law requires a comprehensive approach that considers historical, textual, and institutional dimensions. They also highlight the importance of international legal commitments to sovereignty and human rights in shaping cultural rights.
