Arts Council agrees legislative changes are needed to protect creativity

The Malta Council for Culture and the Arts agrees with the need of legislative changes to ensure that the classification of creative works reflected the public's maturity and current realities.

In a statement, the council noted that Malta was a signatory of the UNESCO Convention on the protection and promotion of diversity in cultural expression which stated that cultural diversity could only be protected and promoted if human rights and fundamental freedoms, such as the freedom of expression, information and communication, as well as the individual's ability to choose cultural expressions, were guaranteed.

The council reaffirmed the need that the artistic and cultural sector was allowed to develop as freely as possible.

For this aim, the country's relevant legislation should be revised to safeguard the rights and fundamental freedoms of artists in all genres, the council said
