“…Tobin points out that the right to health should be used as a tool for interpretation of the TRIPS Agreement. Consequently, where an unresolvable normative conflict arises, it is necessary to ensure that any interference of the protection of intellectual property into the right of access to medicinal products is justified, necessary and proportionate 39 . In addition, there are flexible and adaptive measures under the TRIPS Agreement itself, such as compulsory licences to be used by the WTO Member States to increase access to medicinal products 40 .…”

Ochrona patentowa w porozumieniu TRIPS i prawo do zdrowia -czy da się je ze sobą pogodzić? SUMMARYThe monopoly enjoyed by pharmaceutical manufacturers, resulting from the protection of intellectual property, directly affects the price of medicinal products and thus their availability, especially in developing and least-developed countries. The aim of the article was to examine the provisions of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights adopted under the World Trade Organization, an attempt to answer the question of whether it is possible to reconcile the protection of intellectual property with the human right to health.

“…A key component of this identity was a commitment to sportsmanship and fair play, with good manners and magnanimity transcending the mere achievement of victory; playing the game graciously and well came to be seen as more important than winning. 70 This code of honour was an important feature of British national identity and, importantly, one that was acknowledged and valued across class lines. 71 In his descriptions of heroism, Gibbs displayed a keen awareness that his readers were predisposed to value character over achievement.…”

When death gave way to glory: Philip Gibbs, RMS Titanic and the Western Front

The English journalist and author Philip Gibbs established many of the mythological conventions of the Titanic sinking – the luxury of a ship believed to be unsinkable; insufficient lifeboats; women and children first; the band playing ‘Nearer, My God, to Thee’; the failure of a nearby ship to respond to distress signals; and the heroism of the doomed passengers. Gibbs’ language choices in reporting on the Titanic reflected late-Victorian and Edwardian attitudes to chivalry, heroism, masculinity and nationality. Later, as one of the most influential war correspondents working on the Western Front, he consistently drew on this same anachronistic rhetoric to describe mass industrialized warfare. In 1912, and across almost four years of war, Gibbs celebrated glory's triumph over tragedy. In this confrontation with danger, stoic endurance and acceptance of martyrdom were proof that a person was both a man and a Briton.
