IFLA has been attending meetings of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) regularly since 2008, participating in discussions concerning copyright exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives, as well as for the visually impaired.
Following the successful conclusion of a treaty to ensure access to works for visually impaired people (the Marrakesh Treaty) in June 2013, copyright exceptions and limitations for libraries and archives are high on the SCCR agenda. This is an important opportunity to establish the concerns of libraries and archives, and build momentum to advance SCCR discussions towards an international instrument.
