This study by P. Bernt Hugenholtz and Ruth L. Okediji examines policy options and modalities for framing a new international instrument on limitations and exceptions to copyright. The authors, considering the current international copyright acquis as their general starting point, evaluate options for the design of such an instrument, including questions of political sustainability and institutional home.

The report was sponsored by OSI's Information Program.
