Cultural Law
Culture constitutes the set of distinctive, spiritual and material, intellectual and affective features that characterize a society or a social group, encompassing the arts and letters, ways of life, ways of living together and interacting, value systems , traditions and beliefs. It is part of our being and identity. It provides us with patterns of behavior; standing as the reflection of the development of society. It influences how we interpret actions, how we think and behave. Without culture, there is no possible sustainable development, which is why it must be included in all development policies. Cultural heritage, creative cultural activities, and culture in general are facilitators and drivers of the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development.
By virtue of this, in the Ibero-American Association of Law, Culture and Environment we assume the commitment to “Work in the defense, promotion and training in democratic and republican values, based on the right to diversity, preservation and cultural development as a trait spiritual, material, intellectual and affective distinctive that characterizes a society and its relationship with the environment”, “Work in the defense and promotion of cultural heritage, respecting and highlighting the multiplicity of ways in which the cultures of the groups are manifested. and societies”, “Provide spaces for cultural promotion and exchange at the local and international level, within a framework of respect, tolerance, dialogue and cooperation” and “Promote training, courses, exhibitions, and educational programs in pursuit of strengthening interest in the cultural and natural heritage of society in general, and young people in particular.
"La cultura es el ejercicio profundo de la Identidad"
Julio Cortazar
Creativity contributes to the construction of dynamic, innovative and prosperous societies, and to the circulation and enrichment of ideas, which become useful tools for society and lead to improvements for the most vulnerable groups. Cultural diversity, understood as the multiplicity of forms in which cultures and peoples express themselves, becomes indispensable for the formation of a varied world with multiple possibilities.
Our visión
Through culture, humanity expresses its conception of the world, of the environment in which it develops and with which it interacts, evidencing it as a more than determining and influential factor in the creative process. Cultural heritage is the heritage of the past, which is made up of memory, history and traditions of a society.
That is why cultural manifestations are the reflection of the evolution and transformation of society, and a sign of identity, expressing themselves through various forms throughout the history of humanity. Precious historical monuments and museums, even traditional rites and art in general, enrich our daily life in many ways.

The environment and our cultural heritage
Following a natural disaster or armed conflict, communities have found in their cultural heritage an essential element of material and psychological support, providing them with a sense of identity, dignity and empowerment. An engine to rebuild the economy and society and promote tolerance and reconciliation, strengthening the resilience of the community.
Therefore, the deterioration or disappearance of a cultural and/or natural heritage asset constitutes an impoverishment for society, so the protection, promotion and maintenance of cultural diversity are an essential condition for sustainable development for the benefit of all. current and future generations.
