چکیده:
The legal consequences of cultural diversity vary depending on the person it addresses. Given the fact that there is a huge difference between human rights and citizenship rights in international and national laws, accepting cultural diversity at the level of international law can be interpreted as fundamental human rights which needs an international agreement for its implementation; as a citizenship rights, however, cultural diversity can be identified based on the national and domestic laws, each of which (international/national dichotomy) has different requirements and consequences. One of the major legal consequences of identifying cultural diversity to be among the human rights is to agree with a fixed and equal value attached to every human culture at the global level, and to consider States to be obligated to preserve cultural diversity in the same way that they preserve biological diversity in nature. Such a hypothesis leads to the rejection of relativity of cultures, which is unnatural per se. Considering cultural diversity to stand among citizenship rights, however, leads to the fact that cultures are practically relative.
خلاصه ماشینی:
Based on the premise that there is a stark difference between human rights and citizenship rights at the level of international and national law, accepting cultural diversity at the international legal system level can be interpreted in line with human rights, which, of course, requires international understanding for its implementation and guarantee.
One of the most important legal effects of recognizing cultural diversity as a human right is accepting the fixed and equal value of all human cultures at the global level, which, of course, requires the will of governments to fully preserve the value of cultural diversity like biodiversity in nature.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is one of these countries, which, at the international level, with criticism of contemporary human rights and its monitoring and reporting style, has moved towards substitution against the West, and domestically believes in a kind of cultural engineering (Secretariat of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, 1392).
If we accept this concept of cultural diversity, then we should not talk about cultural engineering by governments, because both at the national and international levels (COL, 2017) culture is natural and manipulation causes imbalance of the individual and society and consequently the source of discrimination and differences.
Both of these policies, whether at the national or international level, lead to cultural engineering, which is in conflict with cultural diversity as a natural phenomenon of human life and their collective existence.
