国連社会権規約(経済的、社会的及び文化的権利に関する国際規約)委員会:COVID-19パンデミックと社会権に関する声明

日弁連のサイトに国連社会権規約(経済的、社会的及び文化的権利に関する国際規約)委員会の「COVID-19パンデミックと社会権に関する声明」(※事前未編集版(2020年4月6日))が掲載されています.
以下のRecommendationsの最初の部分はとくに重要と思います.

Statement on the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and economic, social and cultural rights
Statement by the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights*
Recommendations



10.To ensure that Covenant rights and obligations are protected and fulfilled during this crisis, States should take a range of urgent measures. In particular, responses to the pandemic should be based on the best available scientific evidence to protect public health.

11.Where the measures adopted limit Covenant rights, they should comply with the conditions set out in article 4 of the Covenant. In essence, such measures must be necessary to combat the public health crisis posed by COVID-19, and be reasonable and proportionate. Emergency measures and powers adopted by States parties to deal with the pandemic should not be abused, and should be lifted as soon as they are no longer necessary for protecting public health.

12.In responding to the pandemic, the inherent dignity of all people must be respected and protected, and minimum core obligations imposed by the Covenant should be prioritized. In this difficult context, access to justice and to effective legal remedies is not a luxury, but an essential element to protect economic, social and cultural rights, especially those of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. Thus, for example, it is essential that law enforcement officials respond to cases of domestic violence, that domestic violence hotlines are operational, and that effective access to justice and legal remedies is accessible to women and children who are subject to domestic violence.

13.It is essential that States adopt appropriate regulatory measures to ensure that health-care resources in both the public and the private sectors are mobilized and shared among the whole population to ensure a comprehensive, coordinated health-care response to the crisis. As the front-line responders to this crisis, all health-care workers must be provided proper protective clothing and equipment against contagion. It is also essential that they are consulted by decision-makers, and that due regard is paid to their advice. Health-care workers play a critical role in providing early warning signals of the spread of diseases such as COVID-19, and in recommending effective measures of prevention and treatment.
