Universal Copyright Convention

The Universal Copyright Convention (UCC) is an international agreement established in 1952 to protect the rights of creators of original works, such as literature, music, and art. It ensures that creators have the right to control how their works are used and shared across countries that are part of the agreement. This helps prevent unauthorized use of their creations and encourages respect for intellectual property. While it doesn't require member nations to adopt identical laws, it sets minimum standards for copyright protection worldwide, promoting fair treatment of authors and their works globally.
