The New Zealand Society of Authors (PEN NZ Inc.) has become aware of the proposed treaty by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions on Limitations and Exceptions for Libraries and Archives which was presented to the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights (SCCR) in November 2011.
We are deeply concerned that this Treaty has not been subject to open discussion and have entered a submission calling for democratic debate.
