In addition, on the basis of concluded contracts with foreign organizations on collective management, NCIP enforces in the territory of the Republic of Belarus the interests of over one million authors and rights holders from different countries of the world.

Thus, the conclusion of a contract on the use of works with NCIP, which is a requirement of the current legislation, will allow you, in addition to the legitimate use of the broadest repertoire of musical works and works of the theatrical sphere, to contribute through the payment of author's remuneration to the development of culture and creativity in our country, strengthening the international image of Belarus as a civilized state, ensuring the observance of copyrights.
