UNITED NATIONS EDUCATIONAL, SCIENTIFIC AND CULTURAL ORGANIZATION... International Experts Meeting on further study of the concept of the rights of peoples... Unesco, Paris 27-30 November 1989... RELATIONS BETWEEN RIGHTS OF PEOPLES AND HUMAN RIGHTS: Study prepared by Mr Leo Matarasso, President of Honour, International League for the Rights and the Liberation of Peoples....I. INTRODUCTION: "1. Unesco commissioned the International League for the Rights and the Liberation of Peoples to write a juridical study on the relationship between the rights of peoples and human rights, the latter as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, as well as in the two International Covenants on Human Rights and, more particularly, on the relationship between the rights of peoples and cultural rights, the latter as defined in the three universal international instruments mentioned above. 2. In an endeavour to answer the questions thus formulated, this study will be limited to what is regarded as law in this field. Although it will not be possible to avoid completely all the historical, philosophical, political and moral considerations that are frequently linked with this issue, they will be reduced to the minimum necessary for a proper understanding of the law, as will all doctrinal controversies. Given this basis, this study can be no more than a survey, and, sometimes, even a rudimentary one. The approach has been positivist, and the study will, without any doubt, deserve all the censure it will incur: some readers will find it full of certitudes, whilst others will criticize it for its uncertainty; all will undoubtedly be right. 3. It was thought appropriate to give first the definition of the two concepts whose relationship we are to study: (I) the concept of human rights, and (II) that of the rights of peoples. The scope of our study thus determined, it is now for us to analyse more accurately the relationship between the two concepts before giving closer scrutiny to their relationship as far as cultural rights are concerned..."
