Abstract

The objective of this study is to systematically map all meetings of the Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) and the General Assemblies (GA) of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) to extract, compile, and organize all relevant statements made Member States regarding the proposed Broadcasting Treaty.

The analysis was based on publicly available data from the WIPO website, particularly the official pages dedicated to each SCCR and GA meeting. Our primary focus was on statements recorded in the official "Report" document of each session. When available, we also examined supplementary documents, such as the "Summary by the Chair" or "Conclusions". When analyzing the GAs, we focused on the “Report” and “Report on the SCCR” documents. Links to documents containing relevant information on the Broadcast Treaty were also included at the beginning of each section. To maintain the specificity of this study and avoid overlap with a separate historical research on Limitations and Exceptions, we primarily extracted statements from the section titled "Protection of the Rights of Broadcasting Organizations." Unless explicitly stated otherwise, all statements included in this document are direct quotations from official WIPO records.
