COVID-19’UN DÜŞÜNDÜRDÜKLERİ:ULUSLARARASI HUKUKUN PANDEMİYLEMÜCADELE REJİMİNE GENEL BİR BAKIŞ

Aralık 2019 ayında Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’nin Wuhan şehrinde başlayan SARS COV-2 virüsünün yol açtığı COVID-19 hastalığının bir pandemiye dönüşerek çok ve yaygın can kaybına sebep olmuştur. Dünya Sağlık Örgütü (DSÖ)’nün pandemiyle müca-dele rejimi bu salgını engelleyemediği için eleştirilmiş, Çin Halk Cumhuriyeti’yse (Çin) salgını uluslararası hukuka aykırı bir şekilde bildirim yükümlülüğünü zamanında yeri-ne getirmemekle itham edilmiştir. Bu makalede 2005 tarihli Uluslararası Sağlık Tüzüğü (IHR) çerçevesinde uluslararası pandemiyle mücadele rejimi tartışılmış ve Çin’in söz konusu Tüzük hükümleri bakımından durumu incelenmiştir. Pandemiler doğaları gereği uluslararası bir mesele oldukları için uluslararası koordinasyon ve hukuki düzenlemeler hem COVID-19’la mücadele hem de ileride çıkabilecek potansiyel pandemilerin bastırıl-ması bakımından hayati önemdedir.
