On Thursday, Venezuelan Culture Minister Ernesto Villegas called on the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to adopt measures to protect the cultural rights of peoples from the harmful impact of sanctions imposed by other countries.
UNESCO should offer a “mechanism to protect the cultural rights of peoples, their heritage and cultural diversity, from unilateral coercive measures,” Villegas said at the 2022 World Conference on Cultural Policies and Sustainable Development (MONDIACULT).
“Sanctions can severely impact communities, not only in Latin America but worldwide… those who have calculated the numbers say that half of humanity is being subjected to sanctions,” he added.
