The “Ethical Principles for Safeguarding Intangible
Cultural Heritage” (Ethical Principles) is a set of non-binding, encouraging
general principles. As a supplement to the Convention for the Safeguarding
of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (Convention) and its Operational
Directives, it provides excellent practices that can directly or indirectly
influence the intangible cultural heritage for governments, organizations, and
individuals. Considering the specific circumstances of the protection of
minority intangible cultural heritage in China, the Ethical Principles serve as
a necessary supplement to the national legislative framework. The Ethical
Principles emphasize the role and status of communities, individuals, and
organizations in protecting and inheriting intangible
cultural heritage, and advocate for gender equality, youth participation, and
respect for ethnic characteristics and cultural diversity, among other international consensuses. These principles
can be used as a valuable reference for promoting and improving the
protection and inheritance of intangible cultural heritage of minority ethnic
groups in China.
