| Today, when copyright and related rights are challenged by the rapid development of the digital technologies as well as by rampant piracy, UNESCO contributes to the promotion of copyright protection and to the prevention of piracy through public awareness campaigns, information, training and research, and assistance in legal and technical matters. UNESCO’s set of copyright tools includes its Network of Copyright Chairs in universities in a number of developing countries and countries in transition, UNESCO publications, including the e-Copyright Bulletin, now in five languages, the Collection of national copyright laws, the studies of copyright issues carried out in the framework of the administration of the Universal Copyright Convention and the 1961 Rome Convention and the Guide to the Collective Administration of Authors’ Rights, a useful tool for the development of collecting societies. Within the framework of the Global Alliance for Cultural Diversity, UNESCO is currently developing new initiatives and projects in order to fight against piracy.
