African Group Proposal to WIPO on Copyright Exceptions and Limitations

Last week, the Africa Group has submitted a proposal for a Draft Work Program on Exceptions and Limitations to WIPO's Standing Committee on Copyright and RElated Rights (SCCR). It was submitted in for discussion at the upcoming SCCR meeting in May. The proposal asks SCCR to "continue to work towards an appropriate international legal instrument or instruments (whether model law, joint recommendation, treaty and/or other forms) on limitations and exceptions for libraries, archives, museums, education, research, and uses for persons with other disabilities."
