Statement by the South Centre: WIPO ACE 18th Session
June 2026
At the 18th Session of WIPO’s Advisory Committee on Enforcement (ACE), South Centre called for intellectual property enforcement grounded in development, that is balanced, proportionate & consistent with TRIPS flexibilities. Not just counterfeiting: preventing the misappropriation of genetic resources & traditional knowledge belongs on the agenda too.
