What this law does
Drafted with AI from the cited sources under the direction of UnGovr staff. UnGovr holds editorial responsibility for this page.
Article 9 excludes official legislative, administrative, or judicial texts and their official translations, the news of the day, and mere facts and data from copyright protection outright: a bare fact, or the news of the day as such, is never a protected work under Chadian law, whichever outlet reports it first.
Article 34(3) separately lets any person, once a work has been lawfully disclosed, and provided the author's name and source are clearly credited, make short critical, polemical, pedagogical, scientific, or informative analyses and quotations, compile press reviews, and reproduce or broadcast, even in full, current political, social, economic, or religious news articles and public speeches delivered before political, administrative, judicial, or academic assemblies, and sermons, lectures, and addresses, for current-events informational purposes.
The text does not cap the exception at a headline-length or short-extract threshold and does not confine it to the press industry.
