What year was the Marrakesh Treaty established?

The Marrakesh Treaty, officially known as the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons Who Are Blind, Visually Impaired, or Otherwise Print Disabled, was established in 2013. This treaty represents a significant development in international copyright law, addressing the need for greater access to books and other published materials for people with visual impairments. It aims to make such works more accessible by allowing the reproduction and distribution of these materials in formats that are easier for individuals with disabilities to use.

The treaty emerged from discussions at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and marked a crucial step towards inclusivity and equal access to information for those with print disabilities. Its establishment in 2013 underscores the global acknowledgment of the rights of individuals with disabilities in regard to accessing literature and educational resources.
