If I am wrong, I am happy to be corrected; I'd certainly never claim to be "infallible"!

Are you thinking about article 9? Notice then the second paragraph:
Quote:

(2) It shall be a matter for legislation in the countries of the Union to permit the reproduction of such works in certain special cases, provided that such reproduction does not conflict with a normal exploitation of the work and does not unreasonably prejudice the legitimate interests of the author.

And event if this text was not in the convention I think it is possible to accept a convention and still have other laws that overrides the convention in specific cases.
