IP Conference in Cape Town, South Africa (April 2012)
(NGOs, library communities and other A2K stakeholders around the world are objecting to the biased Agenda of this IP Conference.
It does not include the Development Agenda, Treaty Proposals at WIPO (especially the proposal by the Africa Group (including South Africa)
for limitations and exceptions for libraries, archives and education, all of which promote access to knowledge and contribute towards and impact positively
on economies, as well as many other issues pertinent to developing countries).
