Russia signs up for Beijing Treaty

According to the recently-published Beijing Notification No. 10 Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances: Accession by the Russian Federation (you can click through to the original here), the Russian Federation has committed itself to the WIPO-administered Treaty.

Russia's move brings to 10 the number of countries that have either ratified or acceded to the Beijing Treaty (you can check the current list here). This means that one-third of the number of participants necessary to bring the Treaty into force has now been notched up.
