    The perception of human rights and its (negative) effect on pandemic efforts
    (Maltepe Üniversitesi, 2021) Fatur, Andrej
    In 2020 the world was faced with a crisis, the like of which has not been seen in a hundred years. Understanding how and why different measures in different countries did (not) work can be the key to preventing future crises, especially since zoonotic diseases have a high pandemic potential [1]. At the beginning of 2020 the eyes of the world were fixed on the People’s Republic of China and their attempts to handle the budding epidemic. For the rest of the year, they were staring at the United States of America, in disbelief, due to their horrendous response to the disease ravaging the continent. While the apparent success of China (or the failure of the US) cannot be purely atributed to the state’s (dis)regard of human rights, the question has to be posed as to what extent the perception of human rights halted pandemic efforts in the West.
