ISP Executive Director Margot Kaminski and Visiting Fellow Dr. Shlomit Yanisky-Ravid have released their paper Addressing the Proposed WIPO International Instrument on Limitations and Exceptions for Persons with Print Disabilities: Recommendation or Mandatory Treaty? as part of the ISP Working Paper Series.
The ISP provides a forum for resident fellows, visiting fellows, and student fellows to collaborate on and discuss significant research and policy projects. The ISP Working Paper Series makes the most significant of these initiatives available for public consumption and discussion.
Kaminski and Yanisky-Ravid’s paper suggests that if WIPO wants to achieve compliance with the Proposed International Instrument on Limitations and Exceptions for Persons with Print Disabilities, the proposed instrument should be binding hard law. Enacting this agreement as soft law would undermine the goal of making copyrighted works accessible to persons with print disabilities.
