Neel Publications, an Indian publisher, wants to produce Braille editions of a copyrighted novel for visually impaired readers and exchange them across borders without seeking the author's permission. Which WIPO-administered treaty facilitates this?

The Marrakesh Treaty facilitates this. It requires member countries to provide copyright exceptions allowing accessible-format copies, such as Braille, for visually impaired persons and allows their cross-border exchange. The Budapest, Patent Law and Trademark Law treaties deal with deposits and procedures, not accessible works.
