Upcoming 3D Panel Discussion on Access to Knowledge (A2K) and Human Rights, 8 September 2008, Geneva: The A2K movement brings together advocates, experts and policymakers to find creative, sustainable solutions to questions about access to knowledge. 3D’s panel will explore how limiting access through restrictive intellectual property laws can negatively impact human rights and investigate how human rights mechanisms can support A2K goals. Members of civil society, especially those working on the rights to food, culture, education and health, will play an important role in the conference and are encouraged to participate.
