BAKU, Azerbaijan, February 5. Culture acts as a
social phenomenon and plays an important role in the formation of
law, Minister of Culture Adil Karimli said at the LEGIS
International Law Forum held in Baku today, Trend reports.
According to him, today, Azerbaijani culture serves to protect
the rights, interests, and moral values not only of Azerbaijani
citizens but also of more than 50 million Azerbaijanis living
around the world.
The minister noted the great importance of culture's turning
into a way of life for people and becoming an integral part of
society.
"In this regard, several main areas of culture have been
identified, which are behavioral culture, knowledge culture, art,
cultural heritage, and others. The cultural policy of Azerbaijan is
planned to be implemented gradually in these areas, and all state
institutions should contribute to the development of society in
this direction," he explained.
Karimli emphasized the particular importance of the interaction
between culture and law.
"The effectiveness of national legislation directly depends on
the extent of its adaptation to Azerbaijani cultural values. It's
possible to prepare legal acts based on foreign experience, but for
their application, they must be based on national-cultural
values.
Although the development of technology, including artificial
intelligence, creates new opportunities in the field of law, the
activity of a lawyer inherently requires creativity. Law is a
living mechanism and should function not only as a formal document
but also as a system reflecting the social and cultural
characteristics of society," added the minister.
