| dc.description.abstract | COVID-19 19 is an infectious disease caused by an unknown virus called
corona virus, before it broke out in Wuhan, China in December 2019. In
2005, the World Health Assembly urged its Member States to develop
national pandemic preparedness plans. In response to this call, many
countries have formulated their national plans. A developing country like
Indonesia, face particular planning and other challenges with pandemic
preparedness as there may be a higher death rate in Indonesia compared
with more developed countries. Within its checklist of legal issues, WHO
includes the need to “Identify the advantages and disadvantages of
declaring a state of emergency during a pandemic”. The need to ensure
that there is a legislative framework for the national plan and that an
assessment has been made of the legal basis for public health measures
which may need to be implemented during a pandemic, including travel
restrictions, school closures, quarantine and isolation, and social
distancing measures. That why the role of law and regulation is critical to
the capacity of governments to respond to emergencies, lay the groundwork
for recovery, and to help communities build resilience against future shock.
This study aims to determine the role of law and regulation to face
pandemic in Indonesia. This study uses qualitative methods. The results of
this study show that there are three main areas which are, strengthening the
legal and policy framework for the management of Covid-19 and its
consequences, reduce the impact of the crisis on the judicial systems and
those seeking justice pay special attention to the most vulnerable groups,
especially women and marginalized groups, and advocate the urgent need
of life-sustaining law and regulations, to help Indonesia to strengthen its
governance and institutions, and to support and invest in a culture of justice
to protect the rights and dignity of people everywhere. | en_US |
