This page provides an overview of copyright rules of Syria relevant to uploading works into Wikimedia Commons.

Contexto

Syria was subject to the Ottoman Empire until World War I. It then came under the control of France, which obtained a League of Nation mandate in 1920. The country gained full independence in April 1946.

Syria has been a member of the Berne Convention since 11 June 2004.

As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law on the Protection of Copyright and Related Rights (issued by Legislative Decree No. 62/2013) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Syria.

WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database. It repealed the Law No. 12/2001 on Copyright. Law No. 12/2001 was Syria's first copyright law. An Arabic version of the 2013 law is provided by the General Authority for Radio and TV.
