Covid-19 and civil and political rights

The Covid-19 crisis is expected to have a far-reaching and long-term humanitarian and socio-economic impact. Nevertheless, we are also faced with the opportunity to rethink and redefine norms and policies for a social and economic recovery with a human rights-based approach to build a greener, healthier and more equitable world where no one is left behind.

• State obligations and exceptional measures in the context of the pandemic;
• The impact of Covid-19 on electoral processes; 
• Fake news - the pandemic of misinformation (infodemic);
• The role of civil society during and after the pandemic;
• Lessons learned; and
• Recommendations on how to strengthen a development cooperation model more focused on civil and political rights in contexts of exceptional measures.
