 Today, September 30 is a wonderful day and an extremely happy occasion because the Marrakech Treaty, to facilitate access to published works for persons who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print disabled, enters into force. This is a wonderful event for the visually impaired community, for the World Intellectual Property Organization and I think for multilateralism because it is a victory for multilateralism in addressing successfully a very, very worthy cause of bringing literacy and the opportunity of literacy to visually impaired persons worldwide.
