Protection of Human Rights under the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms During the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. This paper examines the extent to which, the main restrictions of human rights and freedoms can be justified during pandemic acording to proportionality test model. The member states of the Council of Europe take the most effective measures possible in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, which poses a real risk of violating human rights and fundamental freedoms enshrined in the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, in particular the right to privacy, freedom of expression. It is also important to assess the extent to which the direct application of the Convention allows for the restriction of human rights and when the protection of human and public health is a ground for derogating from obligations under the ECHR. The master's thesis analyzes the responsibilities of the members of the Council of Europe when states choose to derogate from their obligations under the ECHR in the event of an emergency situation, what led to the choice of these states, why other states did not derogate from their obligations. One of the thesis aims to find out the relationship between apps for use during the COVID-19 pandemic and the right to privacy and family life. The relationship between vaccination and the right to privacy and family life, and the impact of "vaccination passports" on human rights and freedoms are examined. The relationship between the dissemination of disinformation and freedom of expression, i.e. in which cases the dissemination of misinformation could restrict freedom of expression. The measures taken by the member states of the Council of Europe to control the spread of disinformation are discussed. The legal solutionsto the problems that arise during a pandemic is considered to be completely new. The topic of the master's thesis is an example of the dynamism of law, as well as new opportunities to achieve the protection of individual rights in all circumstances, changing the scope of law in a very short period of time and adding new factors to the criteria of individual protection. |
