Summary/Abstract: One of the fundamental human rights is the right to culture, enshrined in international documents, in regional legal instruments, in the EU legislation and in national laws. The right to culture includes the right of everyone to have access to culture, to participate in cultural activities and to benefit from its results. The right to culture, culture being viewed in its vast diversity, is a fundamental means of education and spiritual edification of the individual and affirmation of his identity. However, the regulation of this right as a whole, at international level, in the European Union and in the national legal systems, is fragmented and unequal by the disparate nature of the provisions and the status of the legal acts that contain it. Structured from all these provisions, the right to culture is a distinct legal reality within the framework of the fundamental rights and freedoms, which attests to the importance of culture in today’s world. The right to culture is the premise and foundation of the legal protection of cultural heritage at a universal, European and national level.
