Dutch Parliament Rejects ACTA On Human Rights Violations


Recommended Posts

The controversial ACTA treaty is quickly losing support in Europe.

After a handful of countries already backed off last week, The Netherlands and Bulgaria put their decisions of hold today.

A majority of the Parliament is against the ratification of ACTA.

They only intend to change this position if there?s irrefutable evidence that it doesn?t violate basic human rights.

Right now this is certainly not the case, as professors Douwe Korff and Ian Brown examined ACTA?s compatibility with human rights and concluded:

?Overall, ACTA tilts the balance of IPR protection manifestly unfairly towards one group of beneficiaries of the right to property, IP right holders, and unfairly against others.?
