Copyright (International Organisations) Order, 1957
Her Majesty in Council issued this Statutory Instrument to apply section 33 of the Copyright Act 1956 to specific international organisations. The Order declares that the United Nations Organisation, its Specialised Agencies, the Organisation of American States, the Council of Europe, and the Organisation for European Economic Cooperation are entitled to copyright protection. This legal mechanism ensures that original literary, dramatic, musical, or artistic works made or published by these bodies enjoy copyright subsistence in the UK.
