A human right to music - an ethical justification
by Peter G. Kirchschlaeger
International Journal of Human Rights and Constitutional Studies (IJHRCS), Vol. 8, No. 4, 2021

Abstract: In this article, the human right to music will be introduced as 'bundled human right' that is constituted by numerous human rights including, among others: the right to freedom of expression; the right to culture; the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion; the rights of minorities and indigenous peoples; and the right to self-determination. Furthermore, it will be examined if the 'bundled human right to music' can be ethically justified. While examining the possibility of justification of the human right to music, the focus will be on the elements and spheres of music relevant to the areas protected by the specific human rights flowing into the human right to music. An ethical justification could provide the conceptual basis for a possible political opinion-forming and decision-making process potentially leading to a legal human right to music.
