| Abstract [eng] |
The master's thesis analyzes the 2020 the regulatory framework for the global COVID-19 pandemic and the special legal regimes chosen to manage it. States applied unprecedented restrictions on various human rights in response to the situation, considering the measures taken by states to control the spread of this dangerous contagious disease and how the chosen measures affected restrictions on individual rights. Although the restrictions on human rights and freedoms were intended to protect human and public health, some of the restrictions were still too restrictive of the human rights in question. The first part of the master's thesis deals with the legal regimes of emergency and quarantine under the Law on Civil Protection and Infectious Diseases, as well as whether a state of emergency should have been introduced in Lithuania to manage the situation and whether the Government has taken appropriate measures powers conferred on it by law. The second part is devoted to restrictions on human rights, which seeks to analyze whether the COVID-19 pandemic model chosen by the Government complied with the constitutional requirements for restrictions on human rights and freedoms. The third part compares the pandemic regulatory model chosen by Sweden and Lithuania, which is fundamentally different, as it is Sweden that has applied soft, only recommendatory measures to control the spread of coronavirus. |
