MAR GREGORIOS COLLEGE OF LAW

CENTRE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

IN ASSOCIATION WITH 

KERALA STATE HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION

ORGANIZES

NATIONAL WEBINAR

ON

HUMAN RIGHTS PROTECTION AND VIOLATION

DURING COVID - PANDEMIC

 

International Human Rights Law guarantees the right to the highest possible level of healthcare for everyone and, consequently, States are required to take the necessary administrative, legislative, or judicial measures to achieve that goal. Therefore, States must commit to be guarantors of public health and provide health care to all during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, international human rights instruments also recognize that, in the context of serious threats to public health and public emergencies that pose risk to human life, restrictions on some rights may be justified, but only when such restrictions meet certain requirements.

What is the status of human rights protections guaranteed under the laws of the State? Is the States not obligated to protect the interests of its citizens? Although frontline workers are battling the pandemic admirably, we must determine what the government has done to protect their interests. Issues of this type must be examined, debated, and analysed in order to determine if the state is acting responsibly and in accordance with rights guaranteed under Constitution of India.

To study the various aspects on Human Rights Protection and Violations during the COVID – 19 pandemic in India, the Centre for Human Rights of Mar Gregorios College of Law in association with Kerala State Human Rights Commission is organising a National Webinar on 22nd May 2021. Scholars are invited to send abstracts and papers to present their perspectives on the following themes or topics:
