Description: |
The objectives of the proposed event are threefold: (a) to celebrate, with the SCCR, the coming into force of the Marrakesh Treaty; (b) to encourage more countries to ratify and implement the treaty beyond the initial member states (now at 25 ratifications); and (c) to engage in a discussion about how to increase and distribute the number of accessible books worldwide, including through initiatives such as the Accessible Books Consortium, and organizations such as the DAISY Forum of India and Tiflolibros of Argentina. |
