Translation rights
Table of contents
Only a few decades after the creation of copyright within the two great western legal traditions (England's Statute of Ann, in 1709, and the 1793 decree of the French National Assembly), translation rights were born along with the multilateral system protecting literary and artistic works, as a result of numerous meetings between authors as prestigious as Hugo, Whitman, and Tourgueniev at first, and soon after, of jurists and diplomats, from ALAI (1878) to the Berne Convention (1886–1971).
