:The aim of this article is to examine how the requirement in the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s 2003 Convention for the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICHC) to ensure the effective involvement of local communities, groups, and individuals (as well as experts, centers of expertise, and research institutions) in the implementation of the Convention can be put into better effect in its international operation. Although examples exist of international treaties that involve non-governmental and other civil society bodies in their implementation at the international level, mostly with regard to Indigenous peoples, the mechanisms for such involvement are still underdeveloped and not wholly satisfactory. Since it has proved difficult to put community participation at the intergovernmental level into practice within the framework of the ICHC, the author seeks to identify approaches that can be usefully employed in the treaty—in particular, by considering participatory models found in other international treaty frameworks in the heritage and environmental protection law fields.

让“社区、群体和个人”参与 2003 年《非物质遗产公约》的国际机制

：本文的目的是研究联合国教育、科学及文化组织 2003 年《保护非物质文化遗产公约》（ICHC）中的要求如何确保当地社区、团体和个人（以及作为专家、专家中心和研究机构）在公约实施中的作用，可以更好地在公约的国际运作中发挥作用。尽管有一些国际条约涉及非政府组织和其他民间社会机构在国际一级执行的例子，主要是关于土著人民的，但这种参与的机制仍然不发达，并不完全令人满意。
