Explanation

The Marrakesh Treaty (2013) is a WIPO-administered treaty designed to address the 'book famine' by establishing mandatory limitations and exceptions to copyright law for the benefit of blind, visually impaired, and print-disabled persons. Statement 1 is correct as its primary goal is to facilitate the creation and cross-border transfer of accessible format copies. Statement 2 is correct; India was the first country to ratify the treaty in June 2014. Statement 3 is incorrect because the treaty entered into force on September 30, 2016, after reaching the required 20 ratifications, not in July 2013 (which was the year of adoption). While the Marrakesh Agreement of 1994 established the WTO [1], it is distinct from this 2013 WIPO treaty. The treaty represents a significant shift in international intellectual property law toward human rights and accessibility.
