Summary: UMR de droit comparé de Paris is organizing a conference entitled “The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity: First Assessment and Legal Challenges for the Achievement of the Convention’s Objectives in Economically Destitute Countries” on June 18 and 19, 2008, in Paris at the Sorbonne’s Louis Liard amphitheater.

The conference is intended to promote debate on themes including

  • The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity: first assessment and prospects
  • The UNESCO Convention on Cultural Diversity in the light of cultural freedom and the unbalance between North and South: a tool for censorship, a tool for rich countries?
  • The role of intellectual property in the promotion of cultural diversity
  • Cultural diversity for Southern countries without subsidies or alms: a utopic idea?
  • The role of competition law for the promotion of cultural diversity
  • International trade law—the law of the strongest at the expense of cultural diversity?
