Protection against unauthorized use in a particular country basically depends on the national laws of that country.

There are several such treaties and conventions affecting copyright, including the Berne Union for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property (Berne Convention) ”

Even if the work cannot be brought under an international convention, protection under the specific provisions of the country’s national laws may still be possible. ”
