History
Founded by 18 authors' societies from 18 countries, mainly representing the dramatic arts. Inspired by the ideas of universal peace and cooperation that had arisen after World War I, the founders' goal was to unite authors and composers from around the world. They intended to coordinate the work of their societies, to improve national and international copyright law, to foster diffusion of creative works and, in general, to attend to all common problems of creation in its widest sense. Present title adopted 1928, Rome (Italy).
Initially consisted of 5 federations for dramatic performing rights, public performing rights, mechanical rights, literary rights and film rights, namely: H-XH3684 - Federation of Societies for Rights of Representation; E-XM7016 - Writers and Directors Worldwide; H-XH3683 - Federation of Societies for Rights of Performance; E-XD1438 - International Bureau of the Societies Administering the Rights of Mechanical Recording and Reproduction; 'Fédération internationale des sociétés professionnelles des gens de lettres', subsequently H-XH2141 - International Institute of Arts and Letters (IIAL); H-XH4144 - International Federation of Screen and Television Writers' Associations. In 1966, the 5 federations were united to form the Confederation and lay the foundations of the current structure. In Oct 2004, at the General Assembly in Seoul (Korea Rep), significant amendments to the statutes were adopted; Jun 2007, Professional Rules for Authors' Societies were adopted.
