“…8 Indigenous communities world over have a spiritual relationship with the land on which they live, which forms an essential part of their cultural identity, and which is linked to their traditional activities, such as hunting, fishing, herding, and gathering plants, medicine, and food. 9 Therefore, secure land tenure systems and access to natural resources are crucial for the protection of indigenous communities. Owing to their way of life, which is directly dependent on the access to and availability of natural resources, indigenous peoples are also among the groups that are most affected by environmental degradation and negative effects of climate change.…”

This paper examines the protection of the right to cultural identity in the case law of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights (IACtHR), where this question has appeared in connection with the rights of indigenous peoples. Although not expressly guaranteed in the American Convention on Human Rights (ACHR), the right to cultural identity has received protection in the IACtHR9s case law through an evolutionary interpretation of the rights to life and property, and other provisions under the ACHR. A landmark decision in the 2020 case of Lhaka Honhat Association v. Argentina has put into a new perspective the protection of the right to cultural identity. For the first time, it was clearly established that cultural rights are autonomous and judicially enforceable under Article 26 of the ACHR. The ICtHR9s revolutionary approach offers new opportunities for the judicial protection of environmental rights claims, contributing to the debate on sustainable development and the protection of future generations as well. The ICtHR has risen to be a regional standard-setting treaty body in the Inter-American system. Simultaneously, its far-reaching approach to protecting cultural identity and land rights has made the IACtHR9s case law a genuine reference point for other universal and regional international human rights organs.

“…A separate right to cultural identity developed from both cultural rights in general and in collective rights. 7 Thus the right to cultural identity as a human right has been defined as the right to freedom of cultural identity as an individual and as a collective experience. 8 A peoples' right to preserve their culture is recognised in the United Nations human rights treaty system.…”

Her research projects and publications are focused on interdisciplinary perspectives of archival science, law and ethics, in particular online rights and responsibilities of ownership, access and privacy in government, health and community contexts. Livia's awards include the Monash University 2003 Mollie Holman Medal of Excellence for her PhD thesis. A right to preserve one's culture is recognised in the United Nations human rights treaty system. Individual and collective cultural identity within government and private archives can be enabled through a participatory approach which acknowledges record subjects as record co-creators. This article analyses cultural human rights instruments found in international and domestic Australian laws as warrants for a participatory archive within the Australian context, premised on the recognition of the rights of those who are subjects of the record to add their own narratives to records held in archival institutions, and to participate as co-creators in decisionmaking about appraisal, access and control, thus shaping and reshaping the archive from their perspective. To this end, it proposes the use of social media to enhance cultural rights and cultural identity. Adopting the principle of rights maximisation, a participatory approach lessens the impact of the right to be forgotten on cultural rights. The article concludes that Australian archival policy makers and jurisdictions which have a human rights regime, have a clear mandate to give priority to the preservation of records of distinctive cultures, in particular those of Indigenous peoples and minorities.

Résumé La protection de la culture et les droits culturels revêtent une importance particulière pour les minorités et les peuples autochtones dans un contexte où la différence culturelle est pour plusieurs une source d’appréhension, engendrant souvent des discriminations multiples vis-à-vis de ces groupes minoritaires. Or, si on compare la promotion et la protection des droits culturels à celles d’autres droits humains, on constate d’emblée leur marginalisation. Cet article explore une des causes de cette marginalisation en abordant la question suivante : dans quelle mesure le concept de culture en droit international influence-t-il la promotion et la protection des droits culturels des groupes minoritaires? L’hypothèse avancée est que l’ambigüité et l’absence d’une définition contraignante de ce concept dans les instruments internationaux relatifs aux droits humains laissent la voie libre à une conception sous-jacente réductrice qui ne rend pas justice aux droits culturels des groupes minoritaires, qui conditionnent la mise en œuvre de ces droits en plus d’exacerber plusieurs exclusions. Une re-conceptualisation de la notion de culture qui tiendrait compte de réflexions émanant de l’anthropologie apparaît essentielle.
