COVID-19 and the wide range of emergency measures that governments
and policy makers have introduced in the name of fighting the
pandemic have shaped our lives over the past year and a half. The
thirteenth edition of the European Yearbook on Human Rights takes
the opportunity to reflect on the impact that COVID-19 has had on
human rights and to assess the proportionality and necessity of
state responses to the pandemic in order to ensure a resilient
human rights system in the future. Renowned scholars, emerging
voices and practitioners provide a cross-section of human rights
issues in their contributions. These issues range from the
underlying considerations of justice and equality and access to
resources, to the protection of core human rights during the
pandemic, such as the right to health, the right to hold democratic
elections and the protection of vulnerable groups, including the
elderly, persons with disabilities and migrants. In this way, the
European Yearbook on Human Rights 2021 raises awareness of the
complexities of human rights protection during a pandemic and
beyond, and stimulates debate and further research in the field in
order to ensure that future responses to crises not only pay
respect to human rights, but are rooted in them.
The European Yearbook on Human Rights brings together renowned
scholars, emerging voices and practitioners. Split into parts
devoted to recent developments in the European Union, the Council
of Europe and the OSCE as well as through reports from the field,
the contributions engage with some of the most important human
rights issues and developments in Europe. The Yearbook helps to
better understand the rich landscape of the European regional human
rights system and is intended to stimulate discussions, critical
thinking and further research in this field.
2018 has been another challenging year for human rights in Europe
and globally. International human rights standards, the rule of law
and international human rights institutions have come under
increasing pressure. The eleventh volume of the European Yearbook
on Human Rights discusses the backgrounds of these developments and
outlines the potential implications and possible solutions. The
backsliding of democracy in Poland and Hungary, the human rights
fallout from Brexit and the human rights situations in Chechnya and
the Ukraine are mentioned as just a few examples. The Yearbook also
includes contributions on all-time classics such as the right to
freedom of expression or fair trial and tensions between security
and the protection of human rights, as well as more recent
developments on the rights of persons with disabilities and the
rights of children to be heard in political processes. The European
Yearbook on Human Rights brings together renowned scholars,
emerging voices and practitioners. Split into parts devoted to
