Abstract
Among the various human rights protected by international law, perhaps one of the least understood is the right to science, a fundamentally under-explored international legal obligation. At the same time, nation-states are increasingly engaging in thefts of intellectual property, scientific discoveries and high-value data and so have enacted regimes to enhance “research security” to protect against those threats. But does this result in a clash between a human right to science and the sovereignty of States? Or can the two rights be properly reconciled using appropriate, proportionate and reasonable mechanisms of law?
