Last semester, PIJIP Director Sean Flynn hosted a series of online webinars on the Right to Research in International Copyright Law. PIJIP’s YouTube channel has posted a playlist of highlights from the series.
Interested in learning more about research as a human right? In this informative video, Professor Flynn gives a conceptual overview of research as a human right in international copyright. Further, he sheds light on the human rights aspect of the right to research and how it differs from a type of exception to copyright. He continues to flush out how human rights duties are imposed by the state to act or refrain from acting in certain ways. He uses censorship as an example of a state affirmative action that reduces people’s access to their right to research.
