What is the primary goal of the Marrakesh Treaty?

The primary goal of the Marrakesh Treaty is to ensure access to published materials for people with print disabilities. This treaty, adopted in 2016, aims to facilitate the production and distribution of accessible formats of books and other written materials for individuals who are blind, visually impaired, or otherwise unable to read standard print. By enabling libraries and organizations to share accessible copies across borders without infringing copyright, the Marrakesh Treaty seeks to overcome barriers that prevent access to knowledge and culture. This emphasis on inclusivity and the right to information highlights the commitment to supporting individuals with disabilities, ensuring that they can participate fully in society.
