COVID‑19 Pandemic and Human Rights: Response Measures of the State and the World Community

Abstract

The article examines domestic and foreign experience in protecting human rights in the current epidemiological situation. The article is intended to contribute to a transdisciplinary dialogue on the formation of a stable position of states and the international community regarding the overarching task of maintaining human health and life support processes. It needs to focus on the crisis associated with COVID‑19, accumulating joint forces on resources to resolve it at a minimal cost. The meta-perspective of sustainability lies in a humanistic approach based not only on the control of a strategy, including mechanisms for containing and combating a pandemic, but also on the legal and ecological balance of human rights and freedoms, society and the environment a system-wide emergent property.
