The Marrakesh treaty

The Marrakesh Treaty (2013) is a law that lets people with print disabilities, like blindness and dyslexia, make and share easy to read copies of books and other works without asking the owner for permission.

Key point

The Marrakesh Treaty is where copyright law and accessibility come together. Without it, changing a book into braille or audio could break copyright rules. The Treaty takes away that legal barrier just for people with print disabilities.
