The General Conference of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization hereinafter referred to as UNESCO, meeting in Paris, from 29 September to 17 October 2003, at its 32nd session,
Referring to existing international human rights instruments, in particular to the Universal Declaration on Human Rights of 1948, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights of 1966, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights of 1966,
Considering the importance of the intangible cultural heritage as a mainspring of cultural diversity and a guarantee of sustainable development, as underscored in the UNESCO Recommendation on the Safeguarding of Traditional Culture and Folklore of 1989, in the UNESCO Universal Declaration on Cultural Diversity of 2001, and in the Istanbul Declaration of 2002 adopted by the Third Round Table of Ministers of Culture,
Considering the deep-seated interdependence between the intangible cultural heritage and the tangible cultural and natural heritage,
Recognizing that the processes of globalization and social transformation, alongside the conditions they create for renewed dialogue among communities, also give rise, as does the phenomenon of intolerance, to grave threats of deterioration, disappearance and destruction of the intangible cultural heritage, in particular owing to a lack of resources for safeguarding such heritage,
Being aware of the universal will and the common concern to safeguard the intangible cultural heritage of humanity,
Recognizing that communities, in particular indigenous communities, groups and, in some cases, individuals, play an important role in the production, safeguarding, maintenance and re-creation of the intangible cultural heritage, thus helping to enrich cultural diversity and human creativity,
Noting the far-reaching impact of the activities of UNESCO in establishing normative instruments for the protection of the cultural heritage, in particular the Convention for the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of 1972,
Noting further that no binding multilateral instrument as yet exists for the safeguarding of the intangible cultural heritage,
Considering that existing international agreements, recommendations and resolutions concerning the cultural and natural heritage need to be effectively enriched and supplemented by means of new provisions relating to the intangible cultural heritage,
Considering the need to build greater awareness, especially among the younger generations, of the importance of the intangible cultural heritage and of its safeguarding,
Considering that the international community should contribute, together with the States Parties to this Convention, to the safeguarding of such heritage in a spirit of cooperation and mutual assistance,
Recalling UNESCO’s programmes relating to the intangible cultural heritage, in particular the Proclamation of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity,
Considering the invaluable role of the intangible cultural heritage as a factor in bringing human beings closer together and ensuring exchange and understanding among them,
Adopts this Convention on this seventeenth day of October 2003.

联合国教育、科学及文化组织（以下简称教科文组织）大会于2003 年9 月29 日至10月17 日在巴黎举行的第三十二届会议，参照现有的国际人权文书，尤其是1948 年的《世界人权宣言》以及1966 年的《经济、社会、文化权利国际盟约》和《公民及政治权利国际盟约》这两个盟约，考虑到1989 年的《保护民间创作建议书》、2001 年的《教科文组织世界文化多样性宣言》和2002 年第三次文化部长圆桌会议通过的《伊斯坦布尔宣言》强调非物质文化遗产的重要性，它是文化多样性的熔炉，又是可持续发展的保证，考虑到非物质文化遗产与物质文化遗产和自然遗产之间的内在相互依存关系，承认全球化和社会变革进程除了为各群体之间开展新的对话创造条件，也与不容忍现象一样使非物质文化遗产面临损坏、消失和破坏的严重威胁，而这主要是因为缺乏保护这种遗产的资金，意识到保护人类非物质文化遗产是普遍的意愿和共同关心的事项，承认各群体，尤其是土著群体，各团体，有时是个人在非物质文化遗产的创作、保护、保养和创新方面发挥着重要作用，从而为丰富文化多样性和人类的创造性作出贡献，注意到教科文组织在制定保护文化遗产的准则性文件，尤其是1972 年的《保护世界文化和自然遗产公约》方面所做的具有深远意义的工作，还注意到迄今尚无有约束力的保护非物质文化遗产的多边文件，考虑到国际上现有的关于文化遗产和自然遗产的协定、建议书和决议需要有非物质文化遗产方面的新规定有效地予以充实和补充，考虑到必须提高人们，尤其是年轻一代对非物质文化遗产及其保护的重要意义的认识，考虑到国际社会应当本着互助合作的精神与本公约缔约国一起为保护此类遗产做出贡献，忆及教科文组织有关非物质文化遗产的各项计划，尤其是“宣布人类口述遗产和非物质遗产代表作”计划，认为非物质文化遗产是密切人与人之间的关系以及他们之间进行交流和了解的要素，它的作用是不可估量的，于2003 年10 月17 日通过本公约。

For the purposes of this Convention, consideration will be given solely to such intangible cultural heritage as is compatible with existing international human rights instruments, as well as with the requirements of mutual respect among communities, groups and individuals, and of sustainable development.

4. “States Parties” means States which are bound by this Convention and among which this Convention is in force.
5. This Convention applies mutatis mutandis to the territories referred to in Article 33 which become Parties to this Convention in accordance with the conditions set out in that Article. To that extent the expression “States Parties” also refers to such territories.
Article 3 – Relationship to other international instrumentsNothing in this Convention may be interpreted as:
(a) altering the status or diminishing the level of protection under the 1972 Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage of World Heritage properties with which an item of the intangible cultural heritage is directly associated; or (b) affecting the rights and obligations of States Parties deriving from any international instrument relating to intellectual property rights or to the use of biological and ecological resources to which they are parties.
