The Copyright (International Conventions) (Amendment) Order 1987
This Order restores copyright protection in the United Kingdom to works originating in the Bahamas, Barbados, Cyprus, Fiji, Malta and Zimbabwe which were first published between 1st June 1957 and 26th September 1957 inclusive and which depended for their copyright protection at the time of first publication solely upon the author’s being domiciled or resident in one of those countries. Those works were inadvertently excluded from protection when each of those countries became a member of the Berne Copyright Union (Cmnd. 361 and 5002) after its independence from the United Kingdom.
