The right to economic activity is not specified in a separate clause in the constitution, but this clause leaves the fundamental right of economic activity.

The constitution of many countries enshrines the human right to work, but the state is not obligated to provide all citizens with jobs. To ensure this opportunity, methods are created to influence entrepreneurs to increase jobs.

Respect of a person speaks of the worthy realization of cultural rights in the country, regardless of his views, beliefs, religion, culture, social status and nationality. The right enshrined in the Constitution is not always fully realized. For example, a person’s ability to live in a favorable ecological environment is not always possible to realize in large cities and near factories. But interested parties may demand compliance with the law and environmental improvement.

International concept

International cultural law is necessary to establish interaction between peoples and create favorable conditions for peace on the planet. The development takes place in the cinema, theater, print media and the media.

The development of international cultural relations takes place with mutual respect for the sovereignty of the country, laws and traditions. One part of the culture is the issue of copyright protection within the country and beyond. Exported historical and cultural values ​​outside the country are not deprived of the opportunity to own objects.

Copyright for the creation of a literary work or scientific development is limited to the country in which it was created. But in another country, such an opportunity is not recognized, so a foreign book can be translated into another language and published without paying a fee to the author.

International relations are governed by the 1967 WIPO Convention. A huge role in expanding international relations was played by the Russian copyright society, which is involved in the development and protection of copyright licenses.
