Discuss the basic features of the Rome Convention.

The Rome Convention, formally known as the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations, was adopted in 1961 under the auspices of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). It is a key international treaty that focuses on the protection of certain related rights, specifically concerning the rights of performers, producers of phonograms, and broadcasting organizations. These entities were not typically granted full protection under earlier copyright laws, which mostly focused on authors and creators of literary and artistic works. The Rome Convention seeks to ensure that these stakeholders, who contribute significantly to the dissemination of artistic and cultural content, receive fair compensation and recognition for their contributions.

The Rome Convention is a landmark treaty because it represents a concerted international effort to extend the protection of intellectual property rights (IPR) beyond traditional literary and artistic works, recognizing the specific nature of performance, production, and broadcasting. Below are the basic features of the Rome Convention, with a focus on its provisions and scope of protection.

### 1. Subject Matter of Protection

The Rome Convention primarily protects three types of rights:

- Performers: Individuals who act, sing, read, or otherwise perform in front of an audience or on recordings. This includes musicians, actors, dancers, and other performers who contribute to the creation of live or recorded content.
