In the international human rights regime, cultural rights traditionally have received scant attention in comparison to civil and political rights.  However, in recent years the hierarchy of human rights has witnessed a change whereby cultural rights have acquired a stronger degree of prominence. A key feature in this trend has been the greater attention afforded to the rights of Indigenous Peoples and minorities, for whom cultural issues are particularly important. In turn, this interdisciplinary special edition is dedicated to exploring a range of topical issues in the promotion and protection of cultural rights. The collected articles included from both academics and practitioners address a number of practical and conceptual difficulties. In particular, this edition engages the implementation of cultural rights by drawing on a number of cross-cutting issues of enforcement and legal protection from a variety of differing legal regimes and national approaches.  Therefore, it takes a deliberately international and comparative approach, thus presenting a wider appeal beyond any specific jurisdiction.
