Treaty on Performers' Rights

The Treaty on Performers' Rights is an international agreement that recognizes performers—such as musicians, actors, and dancers—as creators who have rights over their performances. It ensures they can control how their work is used, including reproduction and public presentation, and sometimes receive compensation for these uses. The treaty aims to protect performers worldwide, encouraging creativity by giving them legal rights and fair recognition, similar to copyright protections for authors and publishers. Overall, it helps performers maintain control and benefit from their artistic efforts across different countries.
