Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Information Classification: General GLOBAL PANDEMICS AND INTERNATIONAL LAW This book reviews the efficacy of Global Health Law, assessing whether its legal framework based on the International Health Regulations represents a valid tool in the containment of modern global pandemics such as COVID-19. The book provides an introduction to the international legal framework surrounding epidemics and pandemics and the main global governance issues that have been generated by the COVID-19 outbreak. It highlights the main shortcomings of global health law, while also including practical proposals to improve the WHO's mechanism to prevent and respond to disease outbreaks. Emphasis is placed on what has not worked in the international, regional and national responses to COVID-19. It is argued that the pandemic has shed light on the weaknesses of global and domestic health law. Against this backdrop, it also considers the relevance and potential application of concepts from other legal regimes, such as wildlife law, human rights and biolaw. By identifying legal gaps and providing legal arguments, the book contributes to the historical and conceptual foundation as well as the practical development of international law in the new age of COVID-19, with the ultimate goal of stimulating legal reform in this vital new era. The work will be essential reading for academics, researchers and policy-makers working in International Law, Health Law, Environmental Law, Biolaw, Bioethics and the Law of International Organizations"--

This book was released on 2023-11-21 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Submitted Assignment from the year 2021 in the subject Politics - Topic: Public International Law and Human Rights, grade: 73, University of East London, course: MENTAL WEALTH - INTERNATIONAL LAW: PROBLEMS AND PROCESS, language: English, abstract: In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, this research seeks to analyse the impact of the global health crisis on the international legal order. The main argument is that while the focus of international law has been on the elimination of war towards global peace and security, the COVID-19 pandemic has shed light on the shortcomings of international law in dealing with a global health crisis. By considering the specialized mechanisms under international law for dealing with a pandemic, the research will reveal the critical role that international law can play in fostering global health. The research is based on a qualitative examination utilizing a deliberate audit of extensive literature on international law and the COVID-19 pandemic. Secondary data obtained from relevant journal articles, textbooks, reports and internet sources.
Book Synopsis Global Risks and International Law by : Sarah Cassella
Download or read book Global Risks and International Law written by Sarah Cassella and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-12-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global risks present formidable challenges to international law. Although they have long been identified in many other scientific disciplines, they are currently only considered on a sectoral basis in international law in the absence of a legal definition. The aim of this book is threefold: to identify the main elements that characterise global risks in a legal perspective, to determine the characteristics that make them a new category of risk, and to analyse the changes they bring about in the main mechanisms of international law. Drawing on the relationship between international law and other legal systems, and in particular national law, this book highlights possible responses to the challenges posed by global risks. The study is based on extensive practice related to the examples of climate change and pandemics, but opens up perspectives on conclusions that could be common to other global risks, such as financial risks or cyber risks.
Book Synopsis Global Pandemic, Security and Human Rights by : Ben Stanford
Download or read book Global Pandemic, Security and Human Rights written by Ben Stanford and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-29 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an international and comparative exploration of how the COVID-19 global pandemic has affected and impacted on issues of human rights, security, and law. Throughout the world, the COVID-19 global pandemic has fundamentally impacted and altered our way of life. As this book sets out, all states have had to contend with similar challenges as well as competing interests and obligations affecting human rights and security. These challenges present very few simple choices but nonetheless carry enormous consequences. Organised into two thematic and distinct yet interrelated parts, first on theoretical and practical challenges for human rights and second on threats to personal, collective, and global security, the book examines how the ability of states to safeguard our fundamental rights and security, broadly defined, has been challenged. Questions about the legality and legal impact of recent responses to COVID-19 will persist for some time. It is often said that global problems require coordinated global solutions, but the various responses to the pandemic by states suggest a notable lack of a consensus amongst the international community. The book will be of interest to academics and researchers working in the areas of human rights law and security law. It will also appeal to constitutional lawyers, given the nature of law-making and the challenge of ensuring adequate scrutiny in emergency situations as well as the impact of COVID-19 upon the legal framework more generally. It will provide a valuable resource for policymakers, practitioners, and public servants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume offers a series of short and highly self-reflective essays by leading international lawyers on the relation between international law and crises.

Together these essays provide a unique stocktaking about the role, limits, and potential of international law as well as the worlds that are imagined through international lawyers’ vocabularies.
Book Synopsis COVID-19, Law & Regulation by : Belinda Bennett
Download or read book COVID-19, Law & Regulation written by Belinda Bennett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-12-21 with total page 721 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: COVID-19 is the most severe pandemic the world has experienced in a century. This book analyses major legal and regulatory responses internationally to COVID-19, and the impact the pandemic has had on human rights and freedoms, governance, the obligations of states and individuals, as well the role of the World Health Organization and other international bodies during this time. The authors examine notable legal challenges to public health measures enforced during the pandemic, such as lockdown orders, curfews, and vaccine mandates. Importantly, the book contextualizes the legal analysis by examining the broader social and economic dimensions of risks posed by the pandemic. The book considers how COVID-19 impacted the operation of the criminal justice system, civil litigation concerning negligently caused deaths and business losses arising from contractual breaches, consumer protection litigation, disciplinary regulation of health practitioners, coronial inquests and other investigations of unexpected deaths, and occupational health and safety issues. The book reflects on the role of the law in facilitating the remarkable scientific and epidemiological achievements during the pandemic, but also the challenges of ensuring the swift production and equitable distribution of treatments and vaccines. It concludes by considering the possibilities that the legal and regulatory responses to this pandemic have illuminated for effectively tackling future global health crises.

Download or read book Covid-19 and Business Law written by Adnan Trakic and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2021-09-07 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The COVID-19 pandemic has had extraordinary effects on human lives and economies around the world. Many countries have introduced various measures to stop the spread of the virus and preserve human lives and livelihoods. Some commentators have considered these measures extreme, such as the restrictions imposed on people’s movement and lockdown of countries’ borders. While these measures have undoubtedly saved lives and curbed the spread of the deadly virus, they have also produced some unintended legal implications for individuals and businesses, particularly in the areas of contractual obligations, employment relationships, tourism and hospitality, company law, competition law, human rights and the rule of law, protection of vulnerable groups like migrant workers, and access to judicial and legal services. COVID-19 and Business Law: Legal Implications of a Global Pandemic identifies and discusses specific legal challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in these areas and suggests possible ways in which they could be remedied.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an exploration of a wide range of issues in law, regulation and legal rights in the sectors of information protection, the creative economy and business activities following COVID-19. The debilitative effect of the global pandemic on information protection and creative and business activities is powerful, widespread and deeply influential, bringing a range of uncertainties to these sectors. The effects of the crisis challenge the fundamentals of the legal systems of most countries in their attempt to govern them. Written by international academics from a diversified background of law disciplines and legal systems, this book offers a global vision in exploring the wide range of legal issues caused by the COVID-19 crisis in these fields. The book is organised into three clear thematic parts: Part I looks at information protection and intellectual property rights and strategies; Part II examines contracts, cooperation and mediation in the post-COVID-19 market arena; and Part III discusses issues pertaining to corporate governance and employment rights. The book explores the unprecedented challenges posed by the pandemic crisis from a global perspective. It will provide invaluable information and guidance in this area to those in the fields of law, politics and economics whose interests are related to information, business and the creative industry, as well as providing indispensable reading to business practitioners and public servants.

Download or read book Declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern written by Eccleston-Turner, Mark and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2021-10-19 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Amid a global health crisis, the process for declaring a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) is at a crossroads. As a formal declaration by the World Health Organization, a PHEIC is governed by clear legislation as to what is, and what is not, deemed a global health security threat. However, it has become increasingly politicized, and the legal criteria now appear to be secondary to the political motivation or outcome of the announcement. Addressing multiple empirical case studies, including COVID-19, this multidisciplinary book explores the relationship between international law and international relations to interrogate how a PHEIC is declared and its role in how we collectively respond to outbreaks.
