A/HRC/4/64

In its resolution 2005/20, the Commission also requested the United Nations
High Commissioner for Human Rights to report on the results of those consultations to
the Commission at its sixty-second session. The report of the High Commissioner
(E/CN.4/2006/40) prepared for submission to the sixty-second session of the Commission
concluded that there was an interest in continuing discussions on this theme and exploring ways
of further protecting cultural rights. It also suggested that the Commission should request
existing human rights mechanisms to give greater emphasis to cultural dimensions in their areas
of work. More specifically, it was suggested that the Commission invite existing special
procedures to take into account the cultural dimensions in the exercise of their mandates and
include a relevant analysis in their future reports to the Human Rights Council and that treaty
bodies, especially the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, be encouraged to pay
greater attention to cultural rights in their analyses and questions to States.
