Abstract
The coda draws out several reoccurring themes at the heart of the relationship between IPRs and SDGs. These include: (1) the relationship between human rights and sustainable human development; (2) the role of international institutions and instruments; (3) the centrality of the nation state in reconciling competing obligations under trade-related intellectual property rights and human rights law; (4) the politics of private power and public law animating the inequalities between systems of exclusion with intellectual property rights exclusions and counter-movements and claims for inclusion through human rights instruments and pursuant to the global commitment made to the SDGs; and (5) the significance of partnerships and sustainable finance.
