Historically,intheinternationallegalsystem,independent,parallel,andyettherearesignificantcontrastsbetweentheevolutionofIntellectualPropertylawsandinternationalhumanrightslaw.

However,Sincethe1990s,westernscholarsbegantopayattentiontothecomplicatedrelationshipbetweenthem.ThisacademicresearchphenomenonrelatestoAgreementonTrade-RelatedAspectsofIntellectualProperty

Rights（TheTRIPSagreement）formulationandimplementation.

AccordingtoUniversalDeclarationofHumanRights（hereafterreferredtoasUDHR）andInternationalCovenantonEconomic,Socialand

CulturalRights,（hereafterreferredtoasICESCR）,Everyonehastherightfreelytoparticipateintheculturallifeofthecommunity,toenjoytheartsandtoshareinscientificadvancementanditsbenefits.

However,theIGOsandUNseniorofficialsalwayskeepcautiousattitudetowardusing"conflict”todescribethisrelationship.Theyusetheword"tension”instead.

Actually,Ithinkintellectualpropertyisnottotallyonoppositesidetohumanrights,butthetoolforhumanrightsrealization.
