"The Universal Copyright Convention (1988)"


6. For the purposes of the application of paragraph 4, in case of
simultaneous publication in two or more Contracting States, the work
shall be treated as though first published in the State which affords
the shortest term; any work published in two or more Contracting States
within thirty days of its first publication shall be considered as having
been published simultaneously in said Contracting States.
ARTICLE IVbis
1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the basic
rights ensuring the author's economic interests, including the exclusive
right to authorize reproduction by any means, public performance and
broadcasting. The provisions of this Article shall extend to works
protected under this Convention either in their original form or in any
form recognizably derived from the original.
2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic
legislation, make exceptions that do not conflict with the spirit and
provisions of this Convention, to the rights mentioned in paragraph 1 of
this Article. Any State whose legislation so provides, shall
nevertheless accord a reasonable degree of effective protection to each
of the rights to which exception has been made.
ARTICLE V
1. The rights referred to in Article I shall include the exclusive
right of the author to make, publish and authorize the making and
publication of translations of works protected under this Convention.
2. However, any Contracting State may, by its domestic
legislation, restrict the right of translation of writings, but only subject
to the following provisions:
(a) If, after the expiration of a period of seven years from
the date of the first publication of a writing, a translation of
such writing has not been published in a language in general use
in the Contracting State, by the owner of the right of
translation or with his authorization, any national of such
Contracting State may obtain a non-exclusive licence from the
competent authority thereof to translate the work into that
language and publish the work so translated.
