Reports and studies

Reports and studies

Multiple reports related to the state of artistic freedom are produced every year by advocacy organizations as well as by the United Nations. There are also extensive studies of various aspects of the work necessary to support artistic freedom and of the general environment around it. Here, we are listing some of the top organizations that are monitoring specific incidents in a country, region or globally. These are followed by a list of notable artistic freedom reports, many of which also offer analysis of the state of artistic freedom and its political context, and include best practice recommendations to policy makers.

Finally, there is a selection of studies related to various aspects of artists’ rights plus links to the Arts Rights Justice Library Project at the University of Hildesheim, which keeps a comprehensive list of such resources.

One significant gap here is the underserved need to monitor policy implementation.
