You are an American living in India. Many people in the city in which you live have been demonstrating in the streets by marching and carrying signs. These people are protesting the high prices of U.S. patented medicines for HIV-positive/AIDS patients. They say that these (and other) patented medicines are unaffordable and therefore the patents should not be protected by international law. (Prices would be much lower without the patents.) The demonstrators also say that international law is based on Western concepts and it is not always just by Indian standards (or the standards of many non-Western countries).

You are known locally for your understanding of global politics. Because of your knowledge, the local newspaper has asked you to write a letter to the editor that will be online and distributed in print. How would you write a letter to the editor that is going against the protestors and defending International Law?
