In June 2010, UNESCO held the 14th session of the Universal Copyright Convention Committee of 1971. The meeting was dominated by two items on the agenda: "the new challenges to achieve the right balance between protecting copyright and access to knowledge, information and culture" and the fight against piracy. With regards to exceptions and limitations, UNESCO presented a study carried out by Dr. Patricia Akester from the University of Cambridge. The author considers that the real benefit from exceptions to copyright would be reduced by the combined effects of contracts, technology and law. UNESCO has committed itself to fighting against piracy, via training seminars in Africa and the setting up of a "World Anti-piracy Observatory" which it presented to the Committee.
