(
translation
), a work is released to the public domain on 1 January of the 71st year after the author's death (paragraph 38 of the 2007 statute) with the following exceptions:
A photograph taken on
24 May 2008 or earlier
— the
old British Mandate act
applies, i.e. on 1 January of the
51st year after the creation of the photograph
(paragraph 78(i) of the 2007 statute, and paragraph 21 of the old British Mandate act).
If the copyrights are
owned by the State

51st year after the creation of the work
(paragraphs 36 and 42 in the 2007 statute).
You must also include a
United States public domain tag
to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may
not
be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do
not
implement the
rule of the shorter term
. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it
does
implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in
World War II
(

the Eastern Front of World War II
(known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously
rehabilitated
victims of Soviet repressions (
