What is the objective of the Marrakesh Treaty?

The Marrakesh Treaty aims to establish limitations and exceptions to copyright laws specifically for the benefit of print-disabled individuals. This means that the treaty allows for the reproduction and distribution of works in formats that are accessible to people with visual impairments or other print disabilities without needing prior authorization from the copyright holder. The goal is to ensure that these individuals have equal access to cultural materials and educational resources, thereby promoting inclusivity and accessibility in a global context. This treaty recognizes the importance of facilitating access to knowledge and culture for those who face barriers due to disabilities, significantly enhancing their ability to engage with printed material.
