Culture, Rights and the Post-2015 Development Agenda

Too many people still see culture as hermetically sealed manifestations. Like crystal shards, these may shine brightly and bedazzle us, but only reflect fragments of culture.

It is how we assign meaning to our lives and what we think progress means.(1)
