[GOAL] Re: Is access to information a human right?

[Jenny Molloy]

Thanks Chris, this is very interesting and I look forward to reading your 
future blogs on reconciling access to knowledge with authors rights.

I've found the following article to be a good exploration of discussions on 
the normative content of the 'right to enjoy the benefits of scientific 
progress' (part of Article 27 of UDHR):

Report of the Special Rapporteur in the field of cultural rights, Farida 
Shaheed
The right to enjoy the benefits of scientific progress and its applications
