Colloque « HUMAN RIGHTS IN PANDEMIC TIMES POLITICAL EXCEPTIONALISM, SOCIAL VULNERABILITY & RESTRICTED FREEDOMS » les 6 et 7 septembre 2021 – Egmont Palace à Bruxelles

For many months, the Covid 19 pandemic has weighed on the lives of everyone. In the name of the fight against the pandemic and, through it, of the preservation of the health and life of the population, limitations on fundamental rights and freedoms have been imposed, directly or indirectly, on an absolutely considerable, even unprecedented scale and duration. The confrontation of this crisis has constituted, in all legal spheres – national, European and international – an unprecedented laboratory for the emergence of new questions and hypotheses on the point of balance to be reached between rival rights, and on the expected role of public authority. On the one hand, public authorities are expected to prevent the violence that the pandemic exerts, in an unequal and insidious manner, on certain vulnerable groups of the population. On the other hand, the public response deployed to limit the spread of the virus constitutes, in itself, a violence that must be moderated.

The purpose of this bilingual symposium is to identify these issues and to test these hypotheses.
