Rohan, an Indian singer, finds a foreign broadcaster airing a live recording of his performance without consent. He wants the international instrument that protects performers, phonogram producers and broadcasting organisations. Which is it?

The Rome Convention protects performers, phonogram producers and broadcasting organisations, so it covers Rohan's situation. Marrakesh addresses access for visually impaired persons, while Locarno and Nice are classification agreements for designs and for goods and services.
