This document summarizes the context around amendments to UN guidelines on access to knowledge in Brazil from the perspective of Idec, a Brazilian consumer rights organization. It outlines issues like copyright law, the civil regulatory internet framework bill, and personal data protection that impact consumer access to knowledge. The document argues that adopting the UN amendments could help push progress on related bills and policies that are currently stalled, and help balance copyright with the right to access culture and information. Idec plans to continue advocating for the amendments and promoting public debate on these issues.
