Abstract

The objective of this paper is to attempt an assessment of the relationship between copyright, human rights and cultural diversity as related to the protection of TCE. It will be argued that the existing fragmentation of international law and the lack of coordination between international fora in dealing with TCE thwart its effectiveness as a means of protection. A human rights framework is suggested for use as a conceptual blueprint for drawing up a more complete picture of the issue and balancing conflicting private property and public goods interests.

Keywords: Traditional Cultural Expressions, Intellectual Property, Copyright, Human Rights
