Historically,intheinternationallegalsystem,independent,parallel,andyettherearesignificantcontrastsbetweentheevolutionofIntellectualPropertylawsandinternationalhumanrightslaw.
However,Sincethe1990s,westernscholarsbegantopayattentiontothecomplicatedrelationshipbetweenthem.ThisacademicresearchphenomenonrelatestoAgreementonTrade-RelatedAspectsofIntellectualProperty
Rights(TheTRIPSagreement)formulationandimplementation.
AccordingtoUniversalDeclarationofHumanRights(hereafterreferredtoasUDHR)andInternationalCovenantonEconomic,Socialand
CulturalRights,(hereafterreferredtoasICESCR),Everyonehastherightfreelytoparticipateintheculturallifeofthecommunity,toenjoytheartsandtoshareinscientificadvancementanditsbenefits.
Butasthedevelopmentofdigitalage,collisionbetweenintellectualpropertyprotectionandhumanrightshasbeenrising.Theprovisionsof

However,theIGOsandUNseniorofficialsalwayskeepcautiousattitudetowardusing"
conflict”todescribethisrelationship.Theyusetheword"
tension”instead.
Actually,Ithinkintellectualpropertyisnottotallyonoppositesidetohumanrights,butthetoolforhumanrightsrealization.
