“Guernica” by Pablo Picasso
UnescoRRP Article 5 1. Culture, as a product of all human beings and a
common heritage of mankind, and education in its broadest sense, offer men and
women increasingly effective means of adaptation, enabling them not only to
affirm that they are born equal in dignity and rights, but also to recognize
that they should respect the right of all groups to their own cultural identity
and the development of their distinctive cultural life within the national and
international contexts, it being understood that it rests with each group to
decide in complete freedom on the maintenance, and, if appropriate, the
adaptation or enrichment of the values which it regards as essential to its
identity.
