Answer to Question #207057 in Law for Rocky

Question

, do you think containing the spread of the pandemic has led to fundamental human rights being 

compromised by our law enforcement officials?

Answer 1

Yes, the spread of the pandemic has resulted in violation of the fundamental human rights. In this sense, quarantine measures have been established on a global scale based on the argument that they are meant to protect the public. From the human rights perspective, typically the restriction of movement of free people would fall under a human rights violation since quarantine policies stipulate cessation of movement in countries where they have been established.
