  Reduction of Economic Burden on State Exchequer by Using Various International Legal Flexibilities under TRIPS Agreement 1994 of WTO

summary:
  Pakistan, as a state, has been subject of criticism from both state and international organisational level for non-compliance of international patent protection standards. For the reason of human rights supremacy as an objective of national laws and also international law, one may claim that in case of conflict between global pharmaceutical patent protection under TRIPS Agreement of WTO and right to health under ICESCR, later will prevail (Vega, 1994).A majority of international community, except USA, is signatory to ICESCR and have made their internal laws consistent with obligation towards this document (Fourie, 1990).Right to protection of health and provision of adequate standards of treatment is integral part of ICESCR but it is unfortunate that US is not part to it.
