Background
Mongolia has been a member of the Monda Organizaĵo pri Komerco since 29 January 1997, the Berne Convention since 12 March 1998 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 25 October 2002.[1]
In 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights (as last amended on January 19, 2006) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Mongolia. This was repealed on May 6, 2021 in favor of a new, revised Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights. WIPO holds the text of this law and its amendments in their WIPO Lex database.[1]

Article 46 of the Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights provides for freedom of panorama.
Freedom of panorama was previously interpreted to not exist in Mongolia according to the now-repealed 2006 Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights, which only allowed for incidental inclusion of works in public spaces for reporting purposes, while also providing conditions similar to United States fair use conditions. This was superseded by the May 6, 2021 law.[1]
The amended law's Article 46 states that Structures, statues and architectural works may be exploited in the following conditions without the authorization of or compensation to the author or right holder[2021, Article 46.1]:
- to display them to public by making a duplication of the works of architecture, fine arts and statues located in public places permanently, and by painting, filming or photographing them.[2021, Article 46.1.1] This shall not grant a right to reproduce an identical structure, statue or architectural creation directly or indirectly for commercial purposes.[2021, Article 46.1.2]
- the exploitation of architectural drawings/blueprints, models, and schemes for restoration of such buildings and facilities.[2021, Article 46.2]
