Summary/Abstract: The adoption and the opening for signature, on the 10th of December 2008, by the United Nation, of the Optional Protocol to the Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights constitutes, in our opinion, a strong step ahead in the field of economic, social and cultural rights protection. It continues the road paved in the last decade by the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity (2001) and UNESCO Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expression (2005). We will point out the main provisions of this Protocol and we will conclude in the sense that this instrument, the others before it and the General Comments of the Committee for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (namely General Comment no. 20 and General Comment no. 21 of 2009), are meant to sustain this desired evolution in the field of cultural rights.
