On Wednesday 11 March 2015, the UN Special Rapporteur in the field of 
Cultural Rights will present a thematic report to the 28^th session of 
the Human Rights Council in Geneva 
<http://www.ohchr.org/EN/Issues/CulturalRights/Pages/impactofintellectualproperty.aspx> 
regarding copyright policy in the context of cultural rights.

The international library and archive community welcomes the report that 
examines copyright from a critical but often neglected perspective: the 
human dimension.

This report emphasises human knowledge as a global public good and 
recommends that States should guard against promoting the privatization 
of knowledge to an extent that deprives individuals of opportunities to 
take part in cultural life and enjoy the fruits of scientific progress.

In cooperation with key strategic partners, IFLA has crafted a statement 
of support for the report—now signed by 10+ organisations from the 
international library and archive community.
