Abstract:
According to the World Blind Union, only 7% of the world’s published books are ever made into an accessible format. This article examines the development of a treaty led by the World Intellectual Property Organization with hopes of removing some of the barriers to access across the globe. Through explaining the development and history of what became known simply as the Marrakesh Treaty, this article highlights the initial publicity, human rights issues, and lawmaking battles that lead to the United States ultimately agreeing to participate.
