Cardozo Journal of International and Comparative Law
Abstract
The article examines the challenges of protecting folklore under existing intellectual property laws, highlighting the limitations of current legal frameworks and advocating for a new international system that balances the rights of indigenous communities with the demands of commercial exploitation. It emphasizes the need for a comprehensive approach that considers the cultural, financial, and integrity interests of indigenous peoples, while addressing the historical failures of international efforts to establish effective protection for folklore.
