The director general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Francis Gurry, has urged countries to ratify two new copyright treaties quickly: the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances and the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works for Persons who are Blind, Visually Impaired or Otherwise Print Disabled. He asked for quick ratifications of them to convert their promises into reality. Moreover, Gurry urged member states to push forward and complete the “ongoing negotiation tracks”: a proposed design law treaty, broadcasting, and traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions and IP in relation to genetic resources. The problem was the slower development of these projects in the past 12 months, therefore all member states have to use the session of the assemblies to try to set concrete schedules of work that will guide the organization towards successful results of all projects.
