Copyright and Related Rights Convention Country Orders

The UK’s membership of certain international conventions and treaties gives rise to obligations to protect copyright works and performances originating in other member countries. Periodically the UK must update our legislation via a Convention Country Order to take into account recent accessions or expected accessions to those conventions.

The other member countries of the conventions and treaties must reciprocate that protection, which benefits the UK’s creative industries.

The Orders revoke, replace and update existing Orders giving effect to our international responsibilities.
