Encouraged by the desire to protect the rights of authors' literary and artistic works as effectively and consistently as possible, the member countries of the Union recognized the importance of the work of the revision meeting held in Stockholm in 1967 and decided to revise the text of the convention adopted at the Stockholm meeting without changing articles 1 to 20 and 22 to 26 of the convention text.

The undersigned plenipotentiaries, after submitting their credentials, agree as follows: the term literary and artistic works includes all achievements in the fields of literature, science and art, regardless of their forms or forms of expression, such as books, pamphlets and other literary works; Lectures, speeches, sermons and other works of the same nature; Dramatic or musical works; Dance art works and pantomime; Music with or without words; Film works and works expressed in a similar way to film production; Painting, oil painting, architecture, sculpture, carving and printmaking; Photographic works and works expressed in similar photographic ways; Practical works of art; Illustrations, maps, design drawings, sketches and three-dimensional works related to geography, topography, architecture or science.

3. Translation, adaptation, music adaptation and other changes of literary or artistic works shall be equally protected as the original works, but the copyright of the original works shall not be damaged.

4. The protection of official documents of legislative, administrative or judicial nature and official translations of these documents by member countries of the Union is determined by their domestic legislation.

5. Encyclopedias, anthologies and other collections of literary and artistic works that constitute intellectual creation due to the selection and arrangement of materials shall be protected accordingly, but the copyright of each work in the collection shall not be damaged.

6. The works mentioned in this article are protected in all countries of the Union. Subspecies protection is implemented for the benefit of authors and their successors.

Works that are only protected as plane and three-dimensional designs in the country of origin only enjoy the special protection given to plane and three-dimensional designs in other member countries of the Union. However, if this country does not give this special protection, these works will be protected as works of art.

8. The protection of this Convention does not apply to daily news or social news of a purely newspaper nature.

Article 2 bis

1. Whether statements made in political speeches and legal proceedings are totally or partially excluded from the protection provided by the above provisions is within the scope of domestic legislation of the member States of the Union.

(b) For works published in non-member countries of the Union and member countries of the Union, the latter is their country of origin;

(c) For an unpublished work or a work published for the first time in a non-member country of the Union but not simultaneously in a member country of the Union, the country of origin is the member country of the Union to which the author belongs; however

If this right is used in the first publication, other members of the Union do not need to give wider protection to the works that receive special treatment as a result than the first publication country.
