description: Despite the progress made in international standards and norms cultural rights remain among the least understood of all human rights in that we have a clear sense of neither their contours and content nor the relationship between culture and rights That link is surely among the most sensitive issues confronting the international human rights community as it enters the new millennium. In these circumstances I am especially pleased that this volume addresses such an important and complex issue. Moreover the contributors bring distinctive South Pacific perspectives to their discussion of culture rights and cultural rights. This contribution to the global campaign to make all human rights a reality to all human beings amply demonstrates that the South Pacific has a rich contribution to make.
