the impact that culture has.
At the institutional level, there have been positive signs. There has been an increasingly
explicit recognition of culture for development: in 2005 the World Summit Outcome, adopted
by the UN General Assembly, acknowledges the diversity of the world and recognizes that all
cultures contribute to the enrichment of humankind. This was followed by the Outcome
Document of the 2010 MDG Summit, published 10 years after the Millennium Declaration,
emphasizing the importance of culture for development and its contribution to the
achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. These messages were further reiterated
in two consecutive Resolutions of the UNGA on “Culture and Development” in 2010 and
2011, which called for the mainstreaming of culture into development policies and strategies,
and underscored culture’s intrinsic contribution to sustainable development.
In June 2012, the Report of the Secretary-General UN System Task Team on the Post-
2015 UN Development Agenda, entitled “Realizing the Future We Want for All’ – a key
document in the Post-2015 process - specifically noted that in its paragraph number 71 that:
“It is also critical to promote equitable change that ensures people’s ability to choose
their value systems in peace, thereby allowing for full participation and empowerment.
Communities and individuals must be able to create and practice their own culture and
enjoy that of others free from fear. This will require, inter alia, respect for cultural
diversity, safeguarding cultural and natural heritage, fostering cultural institutions,
strengthening cultural and creative industries, and promoting cultural tourism.”
This is what has been accomplished. Looking ahead, the momentum is growing.
The President of the UN General Assembly (PGA) will hold a thematic debate early 2013
on the importance of culture for development, in particular with regard to the role it has to
play in conflict prevention and peace building. Similarly, the 2013 ECOSOC Annual
Ministerial Review’s theme will be on “Science, technology and innovation, and the potential
of culture, for promoting sustainable development and achieving the Millennium
Development Goals.”
In view of the debates which will be held in the General Assembly from September
2013, on taking stock of the MDGs and on the way forward, including a 3 rd UNGA
Resolution on Culture and Development and perhaps a UN Conference on Culture and
Development as a result of that, both the PGA and the ECOSOC discussions and
awareness building in the field of culture and development will be of crucial importance.
In fact, 2013 will be a critical year for developing the arguments and building the
advocacy for culture in the post 2015 development framework. A UNESCO International
