Berne Declaration

The Berne Declaration, formally known as the Berne Convention, is an international agreement that protects the rights of authors and creators over their literary and artistic works. Established in 1886, it ensures that creators have the exclusive right to control how their work is used, including reproduction and distribution. Countries that join the convention must recognize and enforce these rights, promoting fair treatment for creators worldwide. This agreement fosters cultural exchange and innovation by safeguarding the interests of writers, artists, and other creators from unauthorized use of their work across member countries.
