Cette diversité s’incarne dans l’originalité et la pluralité des identités qui caractérisent les groupes et les sociétés composant l’humanité.

Despite this article 4 the UNESCO declaration mention hypocritically "The defense of cultural diversity is an ethical imperative, inseparable from respect for the dignity of the human person.
