From the Berne Convention, Article 6bis, Moral Rights:

> (1) Independently of the author's economic rights, and even after the transfer of the said rights, the author shall have the right to claim authorship of the work and to object to any distortion, mutilation or other modification of, or other derogatory action in relation to, the said work, which would be prejudicial to his honor or reputation.

Yes, because the Berne convention is a beacon of moral virtue to be respected in all possible ways.
