Thanks to Wikileaks part of the TPP (Trans-Pacific Partnership) concerning intellectual property has been made available (given it's nature, and the standing of Wikileaks with authorities, the leaked docs are not being linked to directly). The document covers a lot of ground but in a nutshell what the conspiracy theorists had been saying about 'treaty' for years appear to be true; the TPP does indeed set up the WIPO (
World Intellectual Property Organization, a self-funding agency of the United Nations) as an organisation that's to police intellectual property rights on the International stage (and 'globally' relative to agreements they have between themselves and other regional treaty signatories, i.e. Asia, Atlantic, Europe etc.[§ qq.a.8]).
The way it appears to work relies on the fact that members are bound by a dozen or so previous treaties [§ qq.a.8], as well as the TPP itself, in ways that require they not favor their own nationals (Citizens) over those of another nations when it comes to the protections of intellectual property and prosecution of infringements therein [§ qq.a.9]. It does this mechanically by requiring each signatory; 1) agree to relinquish jurisdiction over (certain aspects of) intellectual property to the WIPO, and 2) be used to enforce WIPO rulings locally (against their own citizens) and internationally (against the citizens of another nation).
How this might actually manifest is subject to interpretation but might mean, for example, New Zealand being obligated to hand Kim Dot Com over to United States authorities without much-ado-about-nothing simply because of the claim of infringement currently levied against him (and not specifically the legitimacy or veracity of such); as it currently stands, K.D.C. claims the United States does not have jurisdiction in New Zealand, meaning they are not incumbent on extraditing him. Under the TPP however, to which both nations are signatories, the situation changes greatly because the treaty obligates New Zealand cooperate and hand K.D.C. over US authorities regardless of the current standing of his case in New Zealand.
This type of international cooperation has it's pros and con with respect to enforcement expediency, but the TPP does appear, certainly at face value, to upset long standing notions concerning National Sovereignty, general hebeas corpus and other "innocent until proven guilty" common law principles, which is more than a little troubling.
