Since 2001, cities are designated each year as UNESCO World Book Capital carry out activities with the aim of encouraging a culture of reading and diffusing its values.
The International Publishers Association (IPA) stands alongside the Kenya Publishers Association (KPA) in being extremely concerned by the current form of the Copyright Reform Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 44 of 2021) which passed its second reading last week and seems set to be adopted at third reading later this week. As it stands, the Bill is unacceptable and is an inexplicable step backwards for Kenya's copyright policy.
The final day of this SCCR began with the Chair recognising a cloud of fatigue in the room and encouraging delegates to press on through the day to finish the week.
Day 4 of this 42nd meeting of the SCCR picked up exactly where Day 3 left off, with discussions on exceptions and limitations and observer organisations continuing their statements.
Day 3 of SCCR 42 opened with further discussion and analysis of the new text on the broadcasting treaty with the afternoon reserved for discussions on exceptions and limitations.
