Human Rights
in Culturally Diverse Societies

Ongoing work

At its 73rd meeting in December 2011, the Steering Committee for Human Rights (CDDH) had an exchange of views on a roadmap to execute work on several themes mentioned in its terms of reference, amongst them “Human Rights in Culturally Diverse Societies”. The CDDH instructed the Secretariat to elaborate a preliminary study on this topic, taking stock of existing instruments of the Council of Europe and other international bodies.

  Human rights in culturally diverse societies - preliminary study taking stock of existing instruments
A its 76th meeting in November 2012, the CDDH decided to examine in June 2013, in view of its adoption, a draft study on the feasibility and added value of standard-setting or other work in this field.
