Pressure builds on WIPO to release reports into alleged misconduct

Speaking at the opening of the WIPO Assemblies, director-general Francis Gurry outlined the organisation’s strong financial health and pledged to continue to build on the successes achieved over the past six years in its core programmes. At the same time there are calls for official publication of two independent investigations into allegations against the serving director-general and disagreement over the firing a WIPO staff member.
