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. It does not include bilateral treaties. Related rights provide intellectual property rights for performers, producers of sound recordings 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.
