Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic from the Brazilian Supreme Court and Romanian Constitutional Court

Summary/Abstract: During the pandemic, Brazil and Romania faced different problems regarding public authorities. While in Brazil there was an absence of a strong coordination against virus spread by the executive, because of the presidential denialism, in Romania there was the declaration of the state of emergency and, after that, the state of alert, imposing restrictions on the exercise of rights and freedoms. However, both countries shared the fact that human rights were under threat, either for action or for omission in that period. Therefore, the analysis of both courts in that context is crucial to understanding the protection of human rights in these jurisdictions.
