The goals of human rights and intellectual property rights can be achieved together without prioritizing one over the other. Some believe reducing intellectual property rights is necessary for human rights goals, while others think expanding them is key for innovation. The conflict arises from the fact that protecting authors' rights can make educational materials more expensive, impacting access to health, food, and education. International agreements like TRIPS require countries to implement intellectual property laws, potentially increasing costs for essential goods and services. Balancing authors' rights with access to basic needs remains a challenge.
