Abstract

International law guarantees everyone's human rights and security protection. In situations, such as a state of emergency, governments are allowed to interfere with human rights in a way that limits their disposal. In order to deal with threats to public health governments have restricted some of the human rights in the COVID-19 pandemic. A parallel implemented measure was the expanded use of technology in the health sector. These key steps have raised many questions and dilemmas regarding the position of citizens during the pandemic and in the post-pandemic era. First, the question of the legal basis for the usurpation of many human rights, which may not be in accordance with the expected effects, has attracted the attention of many authors. Second, there was a need to understand, explain and legally regulate many bioethical phenomena that were not sufficiently implemented in legal frameworks. Third, the dangers to humanity have increased in the area of the digital sector which has been in widespread use and which shows the potential to be used in every segment of human life. Inferences that are created based on massive accumulation of personal health data carry risks to privacy and well-being that are now interlinked more than ever before. The lack of adequate law and ethical response to the increasing importance of digital space poses a great danger to the safety and welfare not only of people today but also of future generations.
