UNESCO’s recommendations.
Adopt policies and measures to ensure that artists are remunerated for their creative work including those produced and distributed through digital media;
Recognize that artistic life and the practice of the arts have an international dimension and will take all appropriate measures to promote the unimpeded international mobility of artists, especially those from developing countries who need to travel to developed countries for professional reasons;
Recognize that most artists work independently, contractually or freelance and require access to social security, health insurance, retirement benefits and other social programs that are available to other categories of professionals;
Recognizing freedom of expression and communication as essential requirements for all artistic activities, and take measures to ensure that the protection provided by international and national legislation relating to human rights and fundamental freedoms is unequivocally granted to promote the diversity of cultural expressions.
