Enfoque de los derechos culturales, su lugar en la legislacion ecuatoriana.

Abstract

This work presents the result of an investigation into cultural rights. A qualitative methodological strategy was used for the development of research, dividing into two stages. First, an exploratory and descriptive stage of the theoretical context and conceptual dimensions that allowed the address of the problems inherent in cultural rights, according to classical doctrine and current constitutionalism. Second, an approximation was made to the fulfilment of these rights in Ecuador, from a critical analysis that included the revision of the concept of cultural rights that is handled in Ecuador and its expression from human rights. Among the main results was identified the existence of gnoseological barriers in relation to the subject, which impact on legal doctrine. In addition, it emphasized the need to restore cultural rights as an art of human rights in Ecuador as a way to minimize the anthropological damage that the country's structural systemic crisis causes to its citizens.
