The Berne Convention is the main international convention governing copyright. It lays down the common framework: rights of the author, minimum guaranteed copyright duration, actions requiring permission, etc. that all contracting states must incorporate in their national laws and extend to foreign artists and authors.
As of November 2020 there are 179 countries that are signatories of the Berne Convention (source: World Intellectual Property Organization)
Other treaties and agreements
There are additional treaties that convey additional rights or have historical significance, these are:
The WIPO Copyright Treaty (WCT) a special agreement under the Berne Convention which deals with the protection of works and the rights of their authors in the digital environment.
Marrakesh Treaty
The “Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled (2013)”, allows for government authorised entities to reproduce and distribute accessible verisons of books to people that are blind, or have a visual impairment or other disability that impairs their ability to read a book.
Universal Copyright Convention (UCC) Now of little significance as all UCC members are now also members of the Berne Convention or TRIPS. For more information, please see our main article on the Universal Copyright Convention (UCC).
In addition to the above treaties, countries may have unilateral deals with other countries.My Rights To Use An “Artist” Name
