This timely collection brings together original explorations of the
COVID-19 pandemic and its wide-ranging, global effects on human
rights. The contributors argue that a human rights perspective is
necessary to understand the pervasive consequences of the crisis,
while focusing attention on those being left behind and providing a
necessary framework for the effort to 'build back better'. Expert
contributors to this volume address interconnections between the
COVID-19 crisis and human rights to equality and
non-discrimination, including historical responses to pandemics,
populism and authoritarianism, and the rights to health,
information, water and the environment. Highlighting the dangerous
potential for derogations from human rights, authors further
scrutinize the human rights compliance of new legislation and
policies in relation to issues such as privacy, protection of
persons with disabilities, freedom of expression, and access to
medicines. Acknowledging the pandemic as a defining moment for
human rights, the volume proposes a post-crisis human rights agenda
to engage civil society and government at all levels in concrete
measures to roll back increasing inequality. With rich examples,
new thinking, and provocative analyses of human rights, COVID-19,
pandemics, crises, and inequality, this book will be of key
interest to scholars, students, and practitioners in all areas of
human rights, global governance, and public health, as well as
others who are ready to embark on an exploration of these complex
challenges.
