Tracker by International Center for Not-for-Profit Law, European Center for Not-for-Profit Law, and UN Special Rapporteur Fionnuala D. Ní Aoláin.
Ongoing.
This tracker monitors government responses to the pandemic that affect civic freedoms and human rights, focusing on emergency laws. “Government responses” monitored by the Tracker include enacted legal measures as well as governments’ practices undertaken in response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
For the purpose of the Tracker, “emergency declarations” includes formal declarations of a “state of emergency” (defined by Article 4 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights), as well as variations such as a “state of crisis,” “state of disaster,” and other terms used by governments to designate exceptional situations that justify some limitations on rights and freedoms. “Emergency laws” include legal measures adopted within the emergency framework.
