Abstract

Pandemics are, by definition, global as well as national. The worst off globally are often the most affected. Measures taken in response, even if nationally-focussed, inevitably have implications in other countries. This poses a distinct set of human rights issues for the UK, which we set out in the present submission. Our contribution is based on international law binding on the UK with a particular focus on the right to health, rather than more debateable ethical or political claims. We evaluate the UK’s performance at global level with reference to these norms.
