List of parties to international copyright agreements
Below is a list of countries which have signed and ratified one or more multilateral international copyright treaties. This list covers only multilateral treaties (i.e., treaties by more than two countries). It does not include bilateral treaties (treaties between only two countries). Related rights provide intellectual property rights for performers, producers of sound recordings (phonograms) and broadcasting organisations. In some countries these rights are known simply as copyright, while other countries distinguish them from authors' rights: in either case, the international laws which are concerned with them are distinct from those concerned with literary and artistic works under the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works and other treaties.

UCC Geneva | Universal Copyright Convention | Geneva Act | 1952-09-06 | 1955-09-16[3] | Has lost significance since almost all members are also members of TRIPS. |
UCC Paris | Universal Copyright Convention | Paris Act | 1971-07-24 | 1974-07-10[4] | Has lost significance since almost all members are also members of TRIPS. |
TRIPS | Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights | Marrakech | 1994-04-15 | 1995-01-01[5] | Membership in TRIPS coincides with membership in the World Trade Organization except for least developed countries, which were granted a grace period; observer governments of the World Trade Organization are marked observer in the table below and painted blue in the third map below. |
WCT | WIPO Copyright Treaty | Geneva | 1996-12-20 | 2002-03-06[6][7][8] | |
MVT | Marrakesh VIP Treaty | Marrakesh | 2013-06-28 | 2016-09-30[9] | Full name is the Marrakesh Treaty to Facilitate Access to Published Works to Visually Impaired Persons and Persons with Print Disabilities. |
In addition to these treaties, the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is a multilateral treaty governing multiple aspects of intellectual property, including copyright. As of February 2012[update], ACTA has been signed by 31 countries, but only ratified by Japan.[10] If ACTA is ratified by six or more signatories, it will enter into force thirty days later.[11]
As of August 2024[update], Eritrea, Marshall Islands, Palau, and WTO Observer countries Iran, Iraq, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan are not a party to any copyright convention.
