International Legal, Policy And Institutional Issues Raised By The Covid-19 [Portugal], Patrícia Galvão Teles

American University International Law Review

Three basic sets of questions arise when we attempt to look back to what is now almost one year of probably the greatest pandemic in human history, and also when we look to the future to see what can be improved to fight epidemics and pandemics of this scale and nature. The first set of questions, for us as lawyers, are the legal issues that we are dealing with in regards to the existing legal framework, and how it is interpreted and applied in the event of a pandemic.

Pandemics And International Law: The Need For Action [Chile], Claudio Grossman Jan 2021

Pandemics And International Law: The Need For Action [Chile], Claudio Grossman

American University International Law Review

INTRODUCTION

Let me start by stating that international law has developed principles, norms, institutions that provide an important basis for addressing pandemics; and stressing important values in the international community, including cooperation among States and the vital role of international organizations—among others. First, I will make some introductory remarks on whether international law has norms, principles, and institutions relevant to the topic of pandemics. Then, I will propose a path forward.

Pandemics And International Law: The Need To Strengthen International Legal Frameworks After The Covid-19 Global Heal Pandemic [Sierra Leone], Charles C. Jalloh

American University International Law Review

INTRODUCTION

I would like to begin by acknowledging the American University Washington College of Law and all its partners for organizing this timely symposium on “Pandemics and International Law: The Need for International Action.” 1 The theme of this symposium is rather broad and, as we have heard already, there is much that can be said about it from various international law perspectives. I will not attempt to do that. Instead, I wish to offer brief comments on one question given the time restrictions for my remarks and this panel. I will focus specifically on the topic I was assigned. …

Pandemics And International Law: The Need For Action [Turkey], Nilüfer Oral Jan 2021

Pandemics And International Law: The Need For Action [Turkey], Nilüfer Oral

American University International Law Review

INTRODUCTION

As someone who has actually survived two major earthquakes, what we are living through now with the pandemic is a level ten earthquake—devastating and upheaving our lives in so many different ways. As my colleague Patricia Galvao Teles noted, this level of pandemic is a collective experience that we have not seen since a century ago with the Spanish Flu. It has demonstrated to us, as happens in disasters in general, the structural deficiencies of our current system. My colleagues have outlined some of these deficiencies; I will reiterate some of those noted previously but frame this issue in …


The Wto And Pandemics, Padideh Ala'i, Clemence D. Kim Jan 2021

The Wto And Pandemics, Padideh Ala'i, Clemence D. Kim

American University International Law Review

The COVID-19 pandemic presented the world with a once-in-a-century public health challenge. At the height of the pandemic, measures to curb the disease shut down large swaths of the global economy while worldwide demand for international trade in medical products to fight the pandemic increased, as did dependence on global supply chains to source medical products. The World Trade Organization (WTO) has played an important role in ensuring transparency and market access for trade in medical goods despite the political, legal, and logistical difficulties COVID-19 and the rise of protectionism presented. However, the WTO is positioned to do more by …
