Chapter 9 provides a critical perspective on the development of cultural, religious and linguistic rights and in particular the treatment of cultural, religious and linguistic minorities. Since violations of cultural rights give rise to tensions and conflicts - one of the principal causes of violence, wars and terrorism globally - they require special protection. A large number of international human rights instruments exist to protect cultural life including the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (ICESCR) as well as regional and domestic law. However, while the concept of a universal right to culture and cultural expression may exist, this is often challenged by cultural relativism, clashes of rights, the vagueness often associated with international rights mechanisms relating to culture, its definition and difficulties in justiciability.

Chapter 13 provides an introduction to Section Three of the book which links international human rights mechanisms to social policy development. It argues that the formulation of specific rights often involves struggle and campaigning and is thus a contested site. It further argues that the presentation of a right does not ensure that it can be realised and often attention must be given to wider social and economic policy developments as well as the promotion and facilitation of community empowerment, development, advocacy and campaigning to ensure rights are realisable and extended in line with changing contexts and circumstances. Finally, it discusses contemporary attempts by NGOs and other campaigning organisations, using right-based approaches, to promote the recognition and realisation of universal socio-economic rights globally.

This chapter explores the relationship between human rights and health and social care. It begins by setting out the main international mechanisms, at UN, EU and ECHR levels, and the obligations they place on governments. It then discusses the impact of international and domestic human rights instruments through an examination of developments in social care policy, and with regard to reproductive health care rights in Northern Ireland. It also highlights issues relating to devolution and the implementation of human rights in the UK and in particular the role of the Human Rights Act (1998).
