- Patents Human Rights and Access to Science is a c.70,000 word monograph based on four-years of research and writing by Aurora Plomer. It draws on archival sources from the United Nations to retrace the drafting history and aims of the right of everyone to access the benefits of science. The historiography is combined with a theoretical framework on the moral foundations of human rights to deepen the understanding of the interface between science, patents and human rights and to offer a novel lens to resolve current tensions on the regulation and ownership of the life-sciences.
