Governments Exploited Public Health Emergencies To Violate Human Rights And Gain Extraordinary Powers During Covid Era, Says World Council For Health

 To raise awareness of what constitutes an emergency and countries' obligations, last month World Council for Health published a 'Legal Brief on Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies'.

The document explains how governments used an unjustifiable state of emergency as a legal instrument to deny people basic human rights and freedoms and to grant themselves extraordinary powers.

The authors of the Legal Brief maintain that had people across the board been properly informed about the requirements of International Human Rights Law and the prerequisites necessary to declare a legitimate state of emergency, gross violations of fundamental human rights would not have been possible.

The World Council for Health has published a 'Legal Brief on Preventing the Abuse of Public Health Emergencies' in response to these concerns.

This document explains how governments used the declaration of an unjustifiable state of emergency as a legal instrument to deny people their basic human rights and freedoms and to grant themselves extraordinary powers.

All States have a legal obligation to enact public policy that protects, respects, and ensures fundamental human rights.

Instead, during the covid era, governments around the world chose to follow the recommendations of WHO, ignore the rights of citizens, and enact oppressive public health actions.
