Mauritania –Mauritania renewed its call to activate the principle of preferential treatment for the benefit of developing countries, considering that achieving international cultural justice passes through facilitating the movement of artists and creative works, developing more flexible financing mechanisms, and ensuring a balanced representation of cultural content in the digital space.
This position came in an intervention by the Minister of Culture, El Houssein Ould Medou, during the nineteenth session of the Intergovernmental Committee on the Protection and Promotion of the Diversity of Cultural Expressions, held at the UNESCO headquarters in the French capital, Paris.
The Minister stressed that the 2005 agreement should not remain a theoretical framework for recognizing diversity, but rather should be translated into practical public policies and effective international partnerships, capable of reducing the disparities that may affect creators and cultures, especially in light of the rapid digital transformations.
The Mauritanian official stressed his country’s commitment to working alongside the States Parties to promote a cultural environment based on openness and equal opportunities, considering that cultural pluralism constitutes an essential pillar for sustainable development and enhancing social cohesion.
In his presentation, the Minister recalled the reforms and initiatives launched in the cultural field, within the framework of President Mohamed Ould Ghazouani’s programme, which aim to integrate culture into public policies and give it a pivotal role in supporting development and national unity.
He also pointed to practical steps that included supporting national languages, launching multilingual media platforms, organizing major cultural events, and creating regulatory frameworks and professional institutions to qualify the arts sector and improve the conditions of its workers.
The speech touched on projects under implementation, including the cultural city project in Nouakchott, in addition to expanding multilingual audiovisual spaces within the states, enhancing the protection of the tangible and intangible national heritage and working to radiate it externally.
This intervention comes in the context of a growing international debate about ways to enable developing countries to have a more balanced presence within the global cultural scene, especially in light of the challenges posed by the digital economy and changing patterns of cultural production and consumption.
