I think that because of the vast differences between copyright and trademark stuff, it's best to keep them separate.
The first draft still lacks a few important points. Mainly about the creator having copyright automatically, without the need to register it at a copyright office (although that should still be done because that makes it easier for judges), and that a copyrighted work in one UN nation is automatically copyrighted in all other nations.
For the purpose of international cooperation you could look into setting up a UN Copyright Agency, or simply urge all nations to organise their copyright offices so it's easy to exchange information with other UN nations.
